Historic Predictions by Raymond Kurzweil

• By 2019
• A 1,000 personal computer has as much raw power
  as the human brain.
• The summed computational powers of all computers
  is comparable to the total brainpower of the
  human race.
• Most business transactions or information
  inquiries involve dealing with a simulated
  person.
• People experience 3-D virtual reality through
  glasses and contact lenses that beam images
  directly to their retinas (retinal display).
  Coupled with an auditory source (headphones),
  users can remotely communicate with other people
  and access the Internet.
• People communicate with their computers via
  two-way speech and gestures instead of with
  keyboards.
• Pinhead-sized cameras are everywhere.

Historic Predictions by Raymond Kurzweil

• By 2029
• A 1,000 personal computer is 1,000 times more
  powerful than the human brain.
• Further progress has been made in understanding
  the secrets of the human brain. Hundreds of
  distinct sub-regions with specialized functions
  have been identified. Some of the algorithms that
  code for development of these regions have been
  deciphered and incorporated into neural net
  computers.
• Massively parallel neural nets, which are
  constructed through reverse-engineering the human
  brain, are in common use.
• The eyeglasses and headphones that used to
  deliver virtual reality are now obsolete thanks
  to computer implants that go into the eyes and
  ears. The implants are either permanent or
  removable. They allow direct interface with
  computers, communications and Internet-based
  applications. The implants are also capable of
  recording what the user sees and hears.
• Computer implants designed for direct connection
  to the brain are also available. They are capable
  of augmenting natural senses and of enhancing
  higher brain functions like memory, learning
  speed and overall intelligence.
• Computers are now capable of learning and
  creating new knowledge entirely on their own and
  with no human help. By scanning the enormous
  content of the Internet, some computers "know"
  literally every single piece of public
  information (every scientific discovery, every
  book and movie, every public statement, etc.)
  generated by human beings.

• I think there is a world market for maybe five
  computers.
• -

  Equipment Corp. 1977)
• 640K ought to be enough for anybody
• 
  - Bill Gates in 1981
• No one will put private Resume information out
  on the internet.
