1000 times processing power in 10 years

[Troy Swanson]

I finally listened to this podcast, Will We Recognize the Future featuring Ray Kurzweil on Talk of the .... Kurzweil talks about how processor speeds doubling each year, which means that processors would be 1000 times as fast in a decade. His larger point was that speeds will increase at such a rate that it will be difficult to predict how things will change. We will exponential growth and that he is predicting that the integration of humans and computers will slowly come to pass. He has some good predictions that are worth listening to.
