There is something new under the sun.Life will become worth living!Stones will be turned into bread and base metals will be turned into gold. >>By tosin Well... Actually, Vernor Vinge is a major proponent of the technological singularity. What he's saying is things could be much better, but they could also be much much worse than humans can possibly imagine. Vinge is a master science fiction writer, he has won the Hugo twice. And has won the Nebula for best short story 3 times. Vinge is a mathematician, he taught math at San Diego State University. You can read some of his writings at his web page on the San Diego site. (http://www-rohan.sdsu.edu/faculty/vinge/misc/) >>By Vellocet
