Expect Shifts - Human Race out done by $1,000 Computer by 2049?
Predictions are that by 2013 a supercomputer will be built that exceeds the computation capability of the human brain.
By 2023, when 1st graders will be just 23 years old and beginning their careers, it only will take a #1,000 computer to exceed the capabilities of the human brain.
And while technical predictions farther out than about 15 years are hard to make, predictions are that by 2049 a $1,000 computer will exceed the computational capabilities of the human race.
Scary or not ….. what does this mean to us …. expect major shifts.
