Millennium 3000 Scenarios

*************************
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."
