The Singularity In Movies
While some of this may seem like science fiction. Futurist Ray Kurzweil predicts it will be here sooner than you think.
Here is a video I produced based on the book "The Singularity Is Near" by Ray Kurzweil. While reading the book, I couldn't help but think of the many movies that reference future technology.
The “Singularity” is when the biological brain and artificial intelligence will come together and function as one for increased performance.
Movies referenced:
- The Net
- Minority Report
- Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
- Johnny Mnemonic
- The Final Cut
- RoboCop
- The Surrogates
- Short Circuit
- AI: Artifical Intellegence
- Lawnmower Man
- Virtuosity
- Terminator 2
- The Star Trek Borg: A Documentary
- The Matrix

Years ago, actually in the early days of the PC, we worked with and tested a Kurzweil speech recognition machine for scientist at 3M who had been blinded. It was amazing, considering the time, and helped the man continue to successfully work for many more years.
