Ray Kurzweil sez you aint seen nothing yet!
Go to www.singularity.com
and read about Ray who created the 1st text to speech reading machine for the blind in the 70/s. He also just happened to creat the first music synthesizer capable of reproducing the full sound of orchestral instruments in the 80/s. He has just completed a new book telling what he expects in AI in the next 40 years. Many of you will be here during and at the end of this period. I suggest you go to this website, take a look at his projections, get ready, and hope for the best

A nice report! Now I know why there won't come a new synth from Kurzweil. It's because of the AI project. Hmmm, don't they know that there's no artificial intelligence? It's absolutely impossible to create a machine which will be able to think like a human. So, I'll never trust in a machine especially then if it tells me: "Hallo! I'm artificial intelligent!"

AI project?

Yeah that's cool. I mean I always wanted a talking toaster or a guitar that plays itself.
Pretty cool stuff.

Don't fear it man. I mean not all that long ago people feared electricity and hot water. Some still do....
