The Singularity
Word has it, if you believe in the coming of the Singularity, that within the next 50 years or so, in the words of Ray Kurzweil, “humans will transcend biology.” What that means is that by the time today’s students are old (ish) it is very likely that either we will have some computer components mixed in with our natural biology or, it will mean that our consciousnesses will be scan-able into a cyborg of sorts.
