Kurzweil predicts our computing power is likely to make a 'billion-fold' increase in power over the next 25 years which will "unlock a solution to global warming, unmask the secret to longer life and solve myriad other worldly conundrums."

Vernor Vinge and and Cory Doctorow discuss the technological singularity and conclude that a cooperative model linking computers, networks, and people makes the most sense.

Awed at the pace of technological advances, a faction of geeky writers believes our world is about to change so radically that envisioning what comes next is nearly impossible.

The author introduces "Dickerson's formula", the biological equivalent of Moore's law, that predicts an accelerating pace of discovery in the burgeoning field of protein structure determination.

Nanotechnology, biotechnology, electronics and brain research are converging into a new field of science, dubbed by some "NBIC", that may be vital to U.S. national security and economic clout.

The author examines the concept of a "technological singularity" from an environmental viewpoint.

A brief look at Ray Kurzweil\'s view on the accelerating rate of change and the \"Singularity\".

Ray Kurzweil gives a speech at SIGGRAPH arguing that the exponential growth in computing power will bring fully immersive virtual reality within reach in the next 10-15 years. He also discusses nanotechnology, the \"singularity\", and the use of artificial life avatars.

The author examines the growing convergence between the fields of information technology, genetic engineering, and nanotechnology.

Ronald Bailey discusses the potential of nanotechnology to launch an exponential growth curve of progress.
