Technological Singularity

I read an article yesterday in Popular Mechanics titled ‘The New Machine Age’. It discussed a concept known as the Singularity, a huge leap forward technologically that will transform our society. I now plan on reading ‘The Singularity is Near’ by Ray Kurzweil to learn more. The article had some fascinating information on nanorobots. It is believed this technological change could become possible by midcentury. Will these amazing advances benefit our society or cause more harm than good?
