I had a feeling Cryoneteers would find this VERY interesting! : ) best wishes, John ************************* Millennium 3000 Scenarios Theodore J. Gordon Jerome C. Glenn 03/13/2002 ************************* Experts in various areas were asked to speculate on life in the year 3000. Their ideas were compiled into six scenarios by two leading futurists for the Millennium Project of the American Council for the United Nations University. "The authors provide some insightful scenarios," says Ray Kurzweil. "However, I feel that their time frames do not adequately reflect the accelerating pace of progress inherent in what I call the law of accelerating returns. The types of changes they describe for 2050 and 3000 respectively will arrive much earlier in my view, but the issues raised by such developments as femtotechnology and nonbiological intelligence are compellingly described." http://www.kurzweilai.net/email/artRedirect.html?artID=447&m=957 2,000,000,000 Web Pages--you only need 1.
