- Human Body Version 2.0 by Ray
Kurzweil:
- "A radical upgrading of our body's physical and mental
systems ... By 2030, reverse-engineering of the human brain
will have been completed and nonbiological intelligence will
merge with our biological brains.
- "Once nonbiological intelligence gets a foothold in our
brains (a threshold we've already passed), it will grow
exponentially, as is the accelerating nature of
information-based technologies. ... By 2040, the
nonbiological portion of our intelligence will be far more
powerful than the biological portion. It will, however, still
be part of the human-machine civilization, having been
derived from human intelligence, i.e., created by humans (or
machines created by humans)...
- The explosive nature of exponential growth means it may
only take a quarter of a millennium to go from sending
messages on horseback to saturating the matter and energy in
our solar system with sublimely (super)intelligent processes.
