Let’s get down to business, Ray Kurzweil predicts that in 2045 a singularity will happen. Not just any singularity, a technological one. This means that when the time comes, technology and human capacity will accelerate and merge to become a new and different life-form. This may include machines becoming sentient. Believing in the singularity is a good thing. The singularity will bring up a new age of superhuman intelligence. “According to Ray Kurzweil the advancements in the GNR; genomics, nanotechnology, and robotics will pave the way” (Kurzweil, Ray. The Singularity Is Near: When Humans Transcend Biology). Imagine being able cure genetic diseases like hemophilia, color blindness, and cancer. Or being able to cure disease that were once thought to be incurable. The singularity will bring in new technologies like search engines being able to understand human language according to Ray Kurzweil. The thought that many people make, is that when they hear the singularity, black holes, they think that AI or artificial

Money plays a big part in the technological singularity. In the last paragraph I stated that the GNR or genetics, nanotechnology, and robotics will pave the way. “These will usher in what I referred to in Epoch 5, the beginning of the Singularity. Kurzweil states that that we are already in the early “g” stage.” (Kurzweil, Ray. The Singularity Is Near: When Humans Transcend Biology) As species we have already unlocked our human genome, which is the our genetic material or DNA as most people know it. With these new advances in genetics we could start to eliminate virtually any disease. This means that any genetic diseases like CF(Cystic Fibrosis), Hemophilia, and Turner syndrome could be wiped out. Other advances in genetics like, a farmer would be able to grow more crops. Not just more, but crops with a higher survivability
