Mark Seeger has a deep interest in science fiction and emerging
technologies. One of the areas where these topics meet is known as
“the singularity,” a term that describes the creation of an artificial
intelligence that will exceed that of humans. Mark Seeger follows
both fictional and factual accounts of the singularity.
Science fiction writer Vernor Vinge coined the term “the singularity”
in 1993, but the idea itself originated in the 1950s. While it may still
sound like sci-fi, some experts think the approach of the singularity is
already changing everyday life and causing tidal waves in the
scientific community.
In the past 50 years, technology has developed at hyper speed.

3.  Even looking at the recent past, between 1986 and 2007,
average application-based computing power doubled every 14
months. Just as one example, humanity now has the ability to
use cell phones as encyclopedias and video chat with each
other around the world.
It’s believable that continuing technological advances will lead
to a kind of artificial superintelligence - something so smart, it
will change civilization in incredible ways. Some scientists and
experts believe that the singularity could arrive as early as the
2040s, changing our daily lives completely. Some experts
believe that with nanotechnology, old age and death will be a
thing of the past. Comprehending the vast changes in the near
future isn’t unlike those living in the Middle Ages attempting to
imagine our present day lives with Internet.
