Technologies

My most recent dead tree purchase has been a book by Ray Kurzweil called The Singularity Is Near: When Humans Transcend Biology. This is Ray Kurzweils vision of where technology will take us with some real original thoughts on how and why things will happen in the future. The book itself is WAY overly optimistic in my opinion, but still worth reading. I dont think the book well accounts for inefficiencies of human/government interaction, evil human nature or just plain mistakes that would sidetrack or greatly delay its optimistic vision. But the power of positive thinking is a good thing.
I recommend subscribing to his mailing list at KuzweilAI.net. The site is a bit self aggrandizing, but forgiving that it has some very interesting stuff. If you are interested in what fun new things the future will likely hold this is a great site.
Here’s my personal list of links to interesting technologies and new developments. As always, expect this list to be in constant flux.
