Remember the old predictions the scientists use to say on how the world will work in the year 2000? As you can see we have exceeded their predictions by miles, except for the space traveling part. So, I predict that machines will match man even much earlier than they expect, maybe around the 2018 or 2020.

What say you guys?]]>Feb 17th 2008 7:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/17/kurzweil-predicts-that-machines-will-match-man-by-2029-bring/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/17/kurzweil-predicts-that-machines-will-match-man-by-2029-bring/Feb 17th 2008 7:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/17/kurzweil-predicts-that-machines-will-match-man-by-2029-bring/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/17/kurzweil-predicts-that-machines-will-match-man-by-2029-bring/Feb 17th 2008 7:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/17/kurzweil-predicts-that-machines-will-match-man-by-2029-bring/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/17/kurzweil-predicts-that-machines-will-match-man-by-2029-bring/Feb 17th 2008 7:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/17/kurzweil-predicts-that-machines-will-match-man-by-2029-bring/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/17/kurzweil-predicts-that-machines-will-match-man-by-2029-bring/
Maybe it is the other way around! Maybe, the right way to put it is that we will see machines matching man way after 2029, like 2060! What you guys said is more accurate and leads to the fact that scientists predict stuff way ahead of the realistic time frame. :)]]>Feb 17th 2008 8:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/17/kurzweil-predicts-that-machines-will-match-man-by-2029-bring/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/17/kurzweil-predicts-that-machines-will-match-man-by-2029-bring/Uranus is too :P

I have read some of Kurzweil's awesome books, and I agree to some extent with his ideas of robotic artifical intelligence, however I believe that 50 or 75 years from now, the world will be different in ways that we cannot of imagine. I think it's so interesting to look back at famous philosophers and thinkers from classical Greek antiquity up to the renaissance and try to imagine how they saw the world and the future and compare that to what we have today. It really gives you profound insight when trying to understand our own future and what lies ahead. I truly hope that the positive parts of globalization can spread like wildfire allowing average people to experience different cultures and become friends with people from all different parts of the world. It's starting to happen with the internet and increased global travel. I hope the human potential/spirituality movement gains momentum and people really focus on relieving human suffering and creating peace with one another. I know the cynics will call it a pipe dream and that humans always are at war with each other, etc etc, but I believe as many do that times will change for the better, whether a catastrophic natural event or nuclear apocaclypse has to initiate it or not(2012!). This outcome would be better than just having future technology with the same human drama, but technology advancement may actually precipitate better human relations and functioning, especially tech which can help all of human kind life a life with all of their basic needs met. Also I look to space travel and the discovery of other life as potential events that could bring together the world once again.

Don't "by 2029" and "befor 2029" mean the same thing?

I'm just sayin'.

the fact that we haven't seen any of them maybe because:
1.- we defeated their metallic asses and they never got to travel back in time to destroy us
2.- they waited to be so advanced before time travel that they look exactly like us and thus we haven't noticed (I know a couple o' trolls that could be robots)
3.- we finally became friends after long eons of fighting and there wasn't any real need to travel back in time cuz we will have "VTT (Virtual Time Travel) that would enable us to "live" in any time frame we would so desire.
4.- And lastly but not litlish they never got to time travel cuz we blew them up (earth and all) just before they could and just before we got the remaining of us in one of those old spaceships and embarked in the fruitless search for home in Europa (and later a new solar system)
