Nice article by Ray Kurzweil re expected tech breakthroughs for the new decade.

I love the amazed look on this kid's face smile.gif

    Holly,
    Welcome back from Israel. I hope interveiw went well.
    I have been·loved Ray's inventions from the early 80's, mostly on the synthesizer side, (Kurzweil 250 and up). I own a Kurzweil K2VX (K2000) and K2500 keyboards, and I think they are the cats meow.
    He did so much in the way of optical recognition, but he doesn't really get a lot of credit for it.
    Long live Mr. K
    Jim

    I met him at a seminar, I must have asked him 20 questions smile.gif

    I have since watched many videos of speeches he has made, he sort of has
    one speech that he does over and over again but I find his ideas about our tech future
    very compelling and never tire of hearing him proselytize.

    Ask him about Ramona if you ever get the chance...very interesting! smile.gif

    All went very well in Israel, made many friends, got a great job offer, can move in with relatives
    for as long as I wish...this would make the transition much easier.

    I do hope Augmented Reality is a available to the masses soon. There are so many useful things it could do.
