The Technoligical Singularity
This is a discussion on which there is widespread debate and disagreement, perhaps largely because there are different concepts of what the TS really is.
Write a 2,000-word formal academic paper (in IEEE two-column format and referencing style) discussing essential technological features of the TS and the various ways in which different futurists conceive it.
You should also discuss the current, emerging and future technologies that may be driving us towards the TS, as well as potential obstacles to prevent it.
How much of the current discussion is based on credible research (with clearly explained methodologies) and how much is essentially opinion?
