SXSW: Ray Kurzweil - Expanding Our Intelligence Without Limit

I was late to this session and two ballrooms were filled. I had to follow Twitter but the conversations were amazing. Great presentation about going toward the singularity Kurzweil has been talking about for the past few years. Amazing presentation!

  1. RT @paliosaratoga: We all have 23,000 little software programs in our body called genes #sxiqexpand #sxsw
  2. Future: 3D printing will change the world, blood cell size devices for blood streams of animals, brain modeling. #sxiqexpand
  3. In the future search engines won't wait to ask, they will already be listening with your permission. - Kurzweil #sxiqexpand
  4. The SOPA/PIPA opposition was unprecedented because it rose organically and quickly from the user base. #SXIQExpand #sxsw
  5. RT @katmandelstein: When Wikipedia went on strike, I felt like a part of my mind went on strike. -- Ray Kurzweil #SXiqexpand #sxsw
  6. Humour, art, irony live in the same part of the brain as stuff computers are dealing with now. They just need more neocortex. #SXIQExpand
  7. the levels of our neocortex that recognize art,humor,etc. are an add-on to neocortex in other mammals.(Thus the big forehead) #SXIQExpand
  8. RT @acastilla: Future: 3D printing will change the world, blood cell size devices for blood streams of animals, brain modeling. #sxiqexpand
  9. RT @JenNedeau: "I don't see it as an us vs. them. I see it as us vs. us." - Ray Kurzweil on computers taking over the humans #SXIQExpand #SXSW
  10. Does having your head in the clouds all the time effect our actual human experience? #sxiqexpand
  11. We outsource alot of our historical, social, personal memories to the cloud. It frees up our brain to be more creative. #SXIQExpand
  12. Kurtzweil: Our cultural memories have been sourced to the cloud, freeing us up to do other things #SXIQExpand
  13. Kurzweil: we should reorganize education to teach kids by *doing* - #Agree #SXIQExpand
  14. Kurtzweil: Time triage is the most important decision in dealing with tech #SXIQExpand
  15. You can decide how you're going to balance your time but basically it has expanded our minds. #sxiqexpand
  16. RT @donchristian: Reorganize education by giving students freedom to do projects...ray Kurzweil (and I agree) #SXIQExpand
  17. RT @MurrayComm: We should change education to teach kids by doing, not memorizing. They need to have freedom to learn. #SXIQExpand
  18. RT @kelissa: Will the computers JUDGE us for our search terms? Lev Grossman looks how I feel while interviewing Kurzweil. #sxIQexpand
  19. "Within a quarter century, nonbiological intelligence will match the range and subtlety of human intelligence" #SXIQExpand
  20. How confident can we be of Moore's law? Thermodynamics shows us that predictions can be made on overall properties #sxiqexpand
  21. Change education w/ more doing. I always remember my projects. #RayKurzweil YES! more STEM (labs) & future problem solving #sxiqexpand
  22. RT @kesseljunkie: Kurzweil: The Law of Accelerating Returns doesn't fail, the Paradigms shift. #SXIQExpand
  23. RT @lpearson: If our minds were in the cloud and we could back them up, it would be of great benefit. -- Ray Kurzweil #sxiqexpand #sxsw
  24. RT @crgonzalez: Kurtzweil: tech has expanded our minds, but we are still using a 19th century education model #SXIQExpand
