SUMMARY:The Singularity
DESCRIPTION:The technological singularity is a theoretical future point which
 takes place during a period of accelerating change\, at which
 everything goes completely insane. We&#039\;re talking
 hyperintelligent machines\, radical biological control\,
 effective immortality\, extreme mind-machine interfacing\, space
 colonies\, and nanobot-everything. It&#039\;s going to be great\,
 don&#039\;t you miss it.\n
 \n
 Vernor Vinge called this event &quot\;the Singularity&quot\; as
 an analogy between the breakdown of modern physics near a
 gravitational singularity and the drastic change in society he
 argues would occur following an intelligence explosion.\n
 \n
 Ray Kurzweil maintains that the inevitability of a technological
 singularity is implied by a long-term pattern of accelerating
 change that generalizes Moore&#039\;s Law to technologies
 predating the integrated circuit\, and which he argues will
 continue to apply to other technologies not yet invented. \n
 \n
 **The Singularity will not happen in 2014. Facebook will\,
 however\, prevent you from listing events earlier than five years
 in advance...\n
 **EDIT: Updated :-)\n
 When: Tuesday\, August 21\, 2029 from 12:00 AM to 11:30 PM\n
 Where: All of Earth and Probably the Moon\n
