Did You Know?

Slide: 22

By 2010 computers will disappear. Visual information will be written directly onto our

retinas by devices in our eyeglasses or contact lenses. Going to a “website” will

mean entering a virtual reality environment.

By 2029 we will have billions of nanobots traveling through the capillaries of our brain communicating directly with our biological neurons. Nanobots will take up positions close to very interneuronal connection

coming from all of our biological sensory receptors.

When we want to experience NON-VIRTUAL reality, the nanobots will just stay still. If we want to experience virtual reality, they will

suppress all input coming from the real senses and replace them with the

appropriate signalsKurzweil

Slide: 31

Getting things done requires good connections, both the human kind

and the Internet kind.

Schooling has confused us into thinking that learning was equivalent

to pouring content into people’s heads. It’s more practical to think

of learning as optimizing our networks.
