Where do you see your self in 30 years time?

Ray Kurzweil leads a group of professional and academic voices in declaring that the next few decades will see radical changes in the way we engage with technology... even sugesting that we will eventually transcend our bodies and take control of our own evolution.

It is thought that, by 2040, advances in artificial intelligence will have led to an existence dominated by nanotechnology and brain computer interfacing. In fact, technology is predicted to have progessed to such a degree by this point that we can barely imagine the possibilities.

Whether you choose to view such postulation with enthusiasm, indifference or dread, there's no denying that our collective role in this stream of accelerated change is already being hotly debated in certain scientific circles. There's even a Singularity University teaching relevant content to those who can afford it.

If such a future is an inevitability, then surely it's important to remember that it affects us all... and that we have the right make ourselves heard, whatever our opinions may be. That is to say, it's got to be encouraging to know that the people who should be working on this stuff may already be doing so but ask yourself where you fit in to this... beacuse it's you that it will affect.
