The SINGULARITY was named by the gentleman shown above....Ray Kerzweil.

From Lev Grossman TIME MAGAZINE SCIENCE 2011

On Feb. 15, 1965, a diffident but self-possessed high school student named Raymond Kurzweil appeared as a guest on a game show called I've Got a Secret. He was introduced by the host, Steve Allen, then he played a short musical composition on a piano. The idea was that Kurzweil was hiding an unusual fact and the panelists — they included a comedian and a former Miss America — had to guess what it was.
On the show (see the clip on YouTube), the beauty queen did a good job of grilling Kurzweil, but the comedian got the win: the music was composed by a computer. Kurzweil got $200.

The difficult thing to keep sight of when you're talking about the Singularity is that even though it sounds like science fiction, it isn't, no more than a weather forecast is science fiction. It's not a fringe idea; it's a serious hypothesis about the future of life on Earth. There's an intellectual gag reflex that kicks in anytime you try to swallow an idea that involves super-intelligent immortal cyborgs, but suppress it if you can, because while the Singularity appears to be, on the face of it, preposterous, it's an idea that rewards sober, careful evaluation.

In October there will be a SINGULARITY CONFERENCE in San Francisco.

I WOULD LOVE TO SEE THIS CONFERENCE BROADCAST ON PBS.....but I realize that won't happen so why not Pay Per View?

THIS IS A SUBJECT THAT NEEDS TO BE RESEARCHED AND ANY SHORT ARTICLE THAT I CAN WRITE WOULD BE SENSELESS. 

READ ABOUT SINGULARITY AND MR. KURZWEIL

I've been looking into Ray and I'm not sure he will be attending the conference and in fact I can't find anything about his current activities.  If you have more current info on him please let me know.

I'd like to see a movie with Tesla and Kurzweil meeting in a time wrapped created pub.

And then they both go back to 1901 and design everything for the 20th and 21st century

Ok....I guess I'll start writing it after I get back from the Dodger game.
