Sometime in your busy schedule today take some time to read through this excellent article on Singularity University - a gathering of minds spanning the likes of Ray Kurzweil, Craig Venter, Elon Musk, Reid Hoffman and a load more. The symposium itself sounds like a fascinating event but this roundup does a great job of casting a wide net and showing where our technologies are headed (augmented realities, feeding the world, 3D printing, tricorders, robot sex, etc). It's kind of terrifying to see the point of Technological Singularity slowly approaching - mostly due to the inevitability of it all.
