My dad was watching a show on the discover channel back in 1998 about nanotech. It said that if you were to project a 1998 man 25 years into the future, he would think that future world ran on magic.
I believe the world is already reaching the point where it is changing faster than human beings can psycologically cope with it. We are in for interesting times.

Agreed. I didn't read the entire article and haven't read all the comments here, but so far people are overlooking one rather large problem. Once machines can do everything better than people, what is it, exactly, that people will do? And how can we be sure that the machines will even want to keep us around, ultimately?
