Ray Kurzweil
"Technology is the continuation of evolution by
other means.... It is in the nature of
exponential growth that events develop extremely
slowly for extremely long periods of time, but as
one glides through the knee of the curve, events
erupt at an increasingly furious pace. And that
is what we will experience as we enter the
twenty-first century." Ray Kurzweil - The Age of
Spiritual Machines, When Computers Exceed Human
Intelligence
