Ray Kurzweil, the brilliant inventor of the first synth to play orchestral instrument sounds, is also responsible for many other inventions from flat-bed scanners to print-to-speech readers for the blind to speech recognition technologies. Plus he’s authored some new and compelling books about our future. Check out this interview with this modern day Thomas Edison, courtesy the tompeters.com blog.

Kurzweil is one of those guys you just hope is right. Not only is he a far out futurist, he’s got a positive outlook, and with so much pessimism in terms of our future that’s floating around out there it’s good to get a more sci-fi approach to science future.
I’m holding out for nanotech, that’s the future of everthing, in my mind.LikeLike
