Anyone want to venture a guess on the public awareness of the
Singularity in, say, 2010 or 2015?
I'm wondering if the Singularity will
(1) remain the province of a few hundred or a few thousand
super-technologically-aware types (like, e.g., hints of possibilities
for faster-than-light spaceflight today);
(2) or spread into the awareness of hundreds of thousands or millions of
educated people (like, e.g. private space travel or nanotech today);
(3) or become a major social issue followed by tens or hundreds of
millions (like, e.g., genetically engineered food or nuclear power today).
Any thoughts?
Joshua
