Date: Tue, 04 Jan 2005 21:41:10 -0800 Vernor Vinge wrote in 1993 that he would be surprised if the Singularity happened before 2005, or after 2030. So, we've already entered the time threshold for the Singularity, according to Vinge's view in the early 1990's. Okay, where is It? You might also want to listen to Bruce Sterling's analysis of the Singularity concept given at a seminar sponsored by the Long Now Foundation: http://seminars.longnow.org/salt-jun02004-public-sterling.mp3 Manage your risk, not your terror.
