Eh, I was impressed until it started talking about computers exceeding the ability of the human brain. The truth of the matter is that we don’t have a fucking clue about the depths of the ability of our brains. Case in point: My fiance’s grandmother has had several strokes. She recovered fully from her second one. Walking, talking, couldn’t even tell that she had a stroke. Years later she had a CAT scan done and found that HALF HER BRAIN WAS DEAD.

Although I was impressed by “We are living in exponential times.” I’ve never heard it put that way, but I like it. Very accurate.

But maybe its just because I am not a nerd…but I don’t quite understand there ever being a computer capable of more than the human brain. If created by humans it could never be smarter than the creator. Unless they built a computer to capable of identifying what humans wouldn’t think of and basically the computer would create another computer. But again…I am lucky my computer has windows 95 on it.
