the point at which total computational power will rise to levels so far beyond anything that we can imagine that it will appear nearly infinite and thus be indistinguishable from omniscience--may be upon us as early as 2050.

Just wait until you try to install Windows on a computer like that. I don't think omniscience will be a word we use to describe it. ;)

Both profound and extremely funny.

Will those great new computers crash as often as PCs do now? Will there be a Dell tech to do the house calls or will it be a robot?
