The IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers), better known as probably the nerdiest club the most fucking awesome club you can belong to in the whole world has a special report on the Technological Singularity on the website for its magzine, IEEE Spectrum. For those of you who don't already know, the Singularity is a hypothetical point where technology advances to such a degree that it begins to advance exponentially further as a function of itself (or something like that). People who discuss such things on an academic level are either super stoked for it or are mortally terrified. I think I am somewhere in between.
Anyways, the report features numerous articles from experts on all aspects of the concept. Your Praise Science homework for the week: read them and educate yourself for the coming (or not) paradigm shift because your life is sure to only get better (or worse).
Life after the Singularity is going to be just like this.
