kurzweil post

I thought Ray Kurzweil made some very shocking and interesting points in that presentation on the future progress of technology. He stated that how smooth of a process technological advancement is and also how predictable it is even with outside chaotic factors like bankruptcy, dumping products, countries accusing others, and marketing products. He showed many graphs proving this point that they can predict most technological advancements. Its obvious how many technological products have shaped the way we run our lives in today’s world; Ipods, cell phones, computers but technology has had a great advancement in science as well. I found it very interesting when Kurzweil was discussing the robotic red blood cell and how they have technology to make a super human. He states that “If you could replace 10% of your red blood cells with the robotic versions you could do an Olympic sprint for 15 minutes without taking a breathe or sit at the bottom of your pool for 4 hours.”
“Gentlemen, we can rebuild him. We have the technology. We have the capability to build the world's first bionic man.” A quote from the classic television series, “The Six Million Dollar Man” But that quote with the advancement of technology may become a reality sooner than we thought.
