From Alex Lightman's article of that title in the current issue of H+ Magazine:

"The moral of the story is that, for those of us in our forties and up, we need 
to redouble our efforts at birthing problem-solving technologies, and we need to
make the future happen now or never (at least within the lifetimes of adults in
2008). or we better hope that Vernor Vinge is right and that the Singularity 
doesn't require anything close to a healthy economy, in which case those  
smarter-than-us bots can take charge and knock off all
of our problems like ducks in a row."
