Over the next few decades our intelligence will become increasingly non-biological and trillions of times more powerful than it is today. We will witness the dawning of a new civilization that will enable us to transcend our biological limitations and amplify our creativity.
An analysis of the history of technology shows that technological change is exponential, contrary to the common sense "intuitive linear" view. So we won't experience 100 years of progress in the 21st century -- it will be more like 20,000 years of progress (at today's rate). Within a few decades, machine intelligence will surpass human intelligence; leading to technological change so rapid and profound it represents a rupture in the fabric of human history. The implications include the merger of biological and non-biological intelligence, immortal software-based humans with ultra-high levels of intelligence that will reside within the fabric of space-time itself.
