Acerca de esta escucha

Technology has given average humans far more health and wealth and freedom of action than ever. New gifts spill forth at an accelerating pace as the sheer amount that we know rockets beyond our ability to process. This acceleration has some pondering a looming singularity - an approaching time of transition, spurred in part by new kinds of artificial intelligence - that could make the year 2050 as strange to us as a cave dweller would find our modern cities.

Are these extrapolations well based? Or are there trends that promise to slow down progress, even stop it? And are there coping mechanisms that will keep us agile if it happens?

I think a fan of cyberpunk and technological dystopias would eat this up. I'm really not a fan of either but I thought this was worth a listen and interesting, but not my cup of tea. Younger, more technologically adept people would probably take to this better than myself as well, although my generation can remember having very little technology in our lives so we can attest to the fact that advances have come fast and furious.

Basically, this is about the forthcoming (maybe/maybe not) technological singularity which is the point where our technology becomes so advanced that it becomes uncontrollable. What happens then? Do humans live in a Terminator future? Or will life be easier? And on the way to the singularity, what happens if our advanced technology is hacked? All kinds of scary things to ponder as technology continues to become more and more a part of our lives.
