Computers came from nowhere 50 years ago and are rapidly catching up in capability
with the human brain. We can expect human machine equivalence by about 2015. But after
this, computers will continue to get smarter. There is a noticeable positive feedback loop in
technology development with each generation of improved computers giving us more
assistance in the design and development of the next. Ultimately, they will design their
offspring with little or no human involvement. This technology development will push every
field of knowledge forwards, not just computing it. It will be almost as though extraterrestrials
had landed in 2020 and given us all their advanced technology overnight.
