Don't think it will happen? What is the next step then? If you would have told me 15 years ago that I could fit my Gateway 2000 in my pocket and watch movies in the palm of my hand I would have said you're crazy.
My thought is that if the steps were to go from the desk, to the lap, to the palm then the obvious next step would be to become one with the computer. Nanotechnology will probably make this possible. Search engines become wired into humans. I know that sounds like some serious Phillip K Dick type stuff, but it just seems inevitable. I believe that at some point man and machine will become one in some form.
at some point machines will figure out that man is a burden, god knows i have.
It's a double edged sword. It can be very beneficial for people. Especially those who need that hope and security. Even if it may be false. Life is hard. I personally feel that a creator of some sort is as possible as any other explanation. But I don't think man has ever communicated or ever will communicate with it in this reality.
Wow, now there is a name I've not heard in years except from me. [smoke] Really now, Do androids dream electric sheep?
He has never responded to me.
Edit: I thought "the singularity" was the gravitational one before the big bang.
Singularity being talked about here. Mergence of your consciousness into machine. Ray Kurzweil (sp?) says that he thinks it will be done by 2045 or something. If I am correct the reason why he thinks is will be done so soon is based on the exponential speed at which technology is being created.
The singularity has already occurred, our reality is a simulation created by super-intelligence. Boom
