    Based on the WIKI entry on Technological Singularity, I understand that the meaning of this term is : Do to techonogy that we as humans are creating the future ahead of us is going to be everytime more and more controlled by technology.

    I believe that we as creators of technology will never allowed machines to become smarter than us, and always have controlled over them

  2. I dont think that tecknology is able to destroy us all i thinks is that human brains is the most powerfull knoledge thing in the whole world tecknology is a faster think to find thinks that we already know ...

    -I understood about it, that is an important step for the humanity, because in the future there will be a new technology that the Scientifics will create. This technology will have machines that might think for our self and have more imagination than us, for example this new technology may think and create new things for the new generation human, that is why the humans always forget something, for example it is hard for us to remember a lot of information, for that reason we must create machines or something like that, these machines are responsible for doing things that the human brain is not able to do, is like to say that these are super intelligent machines.
    -My personal position on Technological Singularity is that the technological singularity might be an excellent work for the humans because we may have robots or some type of machines that may think for us or make better something than the human, so this would be an excellent technology.

  4. 1- what understood about techonological singularity is that technology is getting really powerfull and they think that in a few year techonoly is going to be more powerfull that the human brain ..
    2-My personal position about technological singularity is that i don't think that in a future technology is going to be more powerfull than the human brain beacuse human's wont let technology control us ..

  5. I understand about Technological Singularity is that the year pass and technology is getting more powerfull than human brains, and this technology singularity is going to be more inteligent that human.
    My point of view is that the technology singularity in a few year's can be more powerful than human because they can think by them self and they will be able to do thing without orders from humans, and they can do guns more powerful that the humans guns.

  6. Technological Singularity I mean by that is an explosion of human ideas computalizadas superintelligent minds who design which will increase in power and have a mind more powerful and brighter than humans capable of meeting mints beyond which has gone before man.
    I think it is a risk to all mankind as the human race itself is building its destruction.

  7. 1-On my own words what I understood by the WIKI entry on Technological Singularity it means full control by technology as the point where computers become capable of improving themselves up to a time where we become more or less redundant, when technological progress is out of human hands, and happens so quickly a human brain can't perceive or understand it.
    2-What I have learned about this information is that pretty soon technology is going to overtake the world and we should be ready.

    In my own words as to what I just read, I can predict that we are the far superior minds than technology, cause think about it. In the next 10 or 20 years they might build a phone that can do everything, but it doesn't mean it's smarter than us. I also don't think we'll be taken over by technology anytime soon. There's just no way of it happening, although this is Earth, it holds many mysteries that we don't even know yet, my point is don't be thinking lightly of these kind of gadgets. For even though they're just electronics and such, something COULD bound to happen, you never know..

  9. What I understood about this is that the technology in a few years going to be more powerful that the human brain, but i dont think that the technology can be more powerful that the human brain because the human brain created the technology.

  10. - I understand that is a future event which predicts that technological progress and social change will be accelerated by the development of superhuman intelligence, changing our environment in such a way that any human being before the Singularity would be unable to understand or predict. This event
    - My personal position is that the singularity would be grand tecmologica technology for hunamo because sometimes we are tired ta discard the information we need to celebrate and this would come from better technology for human

    I understood about the technoligical singularity that scientists want to do a type of technology to develop something that can think like humans and even better than humans. This is because this technology has the ability to do things that even the human brain can not do. This means that this technology is based on types of machines that are super smart.
    I think that it is a good idea if the robots will be crate to help the people and improve the human life.

    I understood of the technoligical singularity that scientists want create a type of technology to make something that can think like humans and even better than humans. This technology has the advantage to make things that the human brain can not do. This means that this technology is a types of machinesor robots that are super smart.

    I think this is not a great idea because the robots will think more than a human brain and they will try to eliminate to us because they will think that us are not same capacity of intelligence.

  13. -For a wiki entry, i could see that some scientists think that the technology is so advanced that in a few years this could exceed human intelligence and thus surpass themselves and this is out of the hands of the creators.
    -In my personal opinion i think that technology will move forward much more. But i don't think this is going to get more intelligent than those who created, mind human beings.

  14. 1. From what i read i understood that today technolohy is really advance and in a future technology will be soo advance than the human brain.
    2.In my perosonal opinion from what i have read technology may affect us because it is going to be smarter than , and maybe our own creations will guide us to our own destruction.

  15. The term of technological singularity isn't just a computer based future, from what I understood it is in it's wider explanation a great way to develop technology.As part of singularity comes the "horizon" the "unpredictable" future or not even understandable but I think(and it is a personal opinion) that if we,the humans,who created computers and tech environments,can't predict what's going to happen on this range neither can a machine unless we found our way on how to do it and the allow this machines or robots or whatever it is to use it and then and only then it could be used against us.

  16. -In my opinion this technological singularity is an explosion of great intelligence that will create successive generations of increasingly powerful minds.This development will be so advance that it will be difficult for any human mind to understand.

    -What I think about this technological singularity is that in the future it will be so developed that it will be more intelligent that the human brain. But also, will help improve the living in the human life.

  17. Most of us wish to see us in the future, what I mean for this is robots talking and acting like humans. For what I read about technological singularity I understood that the technology in the future is going to have a brain like us. This means robots walking around like humans but of course they would have more information in their brain than us they would be able to learn more stuff faster than our brains. Technology right now is advanced but not as advanced to see robots. Technology singularity soon they would reached a threshold level of sophistication, would enable the creation of smarter-than-human intelligence. Human intelligence is the foundation of human technology; all technology is ultimately the product of intelligence.
    My personal opinion is that this would make this world better. When technology singularity hits this world everything is going to change. When technology singularity comes machines would be more powerful and smarter. This machines would think by themselves and they won't need help from nobody since they would only connect to a computer and pass all the information they need.

  18. In my opinion the technological singularity is a science that creates forms of artificial intelligence like advanced machines or robots.This science permit that the scientists will make machines with an own mind.This is a great development for the future but this too is dangerous.I believe that today the technological singularity have a incredible development to the point that the machines think alone and they make and design things more and more advances.This is very dangerous because this technology has no stop,for this in the future the machines will can take the control of the world or the control of the actions in the planet .
    I think that technological singularity have many advantages and benefits for the world.with this technology will can take control of a advance cybernetic world.In the future the world will be incredible for the intelligent technology.I believe that will be more comfortable the humanity.

  20. 2-When I read the wiki article could reach the conclusion that the Technological Singularity is an artificial intelligence system created by humans, which can be much more intelligent than us, if not to become controlled could be a catastrophe for the world and for the human race, and that by creating such a great tegnologia learn much faster than us and could procreate themselves and humans could be more inferior to them.
    3-In my opinion I think that humans can control this, because if we inculcate the information they can not grasp much faster than us, they are not natural us if, and if we are to create such a society should create a solution in if this is out of control. but still could be a risk

  21. I think that technolocal singularity its a science when the human can create robots and machines with their own mind. In my opinion this technology will benefits us for the future but i think its also comfortable and dangerous. I think this robots or machines are much more intelligent than us and i also think that they will be able to control the world in a future. In my opinion i think this science would make the world and our lifes more better.

  22. The Technological Singularity is increasingly super smart is a vacationing ideas where human brains designed a string of minds Computers the increasingly power increasingly powerful minds.
    My opinion about this science is that it can improve our quality of life by making machines that can do the hard work for us .

  23. What understood about this is that soon the technology will move forward more. Going to be more powerful than the human brain. And will power more than us, there will come a time when the technology will be more intelligent about us and in fact it is being.

  24. -I understand that technological singularity is a development that has created man himself by teaching computers to think for themselves, is so advanced that it can not be stopped, computers can make their own decisions, and these are unknown to human beings, we can help there is also concern that in the future we can destroy.
    -My personal position on technological singularity is a contradiction: as man may build intelligent machines that besides helping men in their technological developments may also think for themselves, at a time when these advances are helping the human brain stop solutions? My opinion is that these developments are helping so advantaged loss of human intelligence.

  25. In my opinion this technological singularity means total control of technology, where technological progress is out of the hands of man, and goes so fast the human brain can not perceive or understand that. What I learned from this is that information technology will soon overtake the world

  27. -Is the creation of artificial intelligence to higher levels, level that might be dangerous as our own creation could rebel and dominate .Moreover, we progress much about technology as artificial intelligence needs no distractions that if they have humans.

    -I think the technology singularity help us a lot in the future and can never dominate as everything is created by man.

    -the technological singularity is a mechanism of super intelligence greater than of human have ability to think and act for itself

    -my opinion of the technological singularity is that it has many solutions that can help us in the development of science, but it is dangerous as well. because it can be manipulated A.I for itself. this means that machines could control to humans without them realizing

  36. I think about technological singularity each year progresses and humans are going to be depending each time more of these until you reach the point that you can not assert himself, and got the point that computers exceed human intelligence.

  38. -TECHNOLOGICAL SINGULARITY I think is a great thing because it's sure to be something bigger than human being will come a time when human beings will have much intelligence because it cast him aside because they are much more intelligent and facilitating such education to human and we will not have anything to think about anything serious as before.

    -technological singularity is a virtual intelligence that will have the ability to think and make their own decisions and this can far exceed the human brain
    -yo pienso que esto puede suceder ,solo parece un poco imposible pero si pensamos por un momento ,habria sido increible tambien para una persona de los anos 1500 pensar que un humano podria volar en una maquina de metal,y muchos mas increibles adelantos tecnologicos
    -yo creo que ningun humano deberia intentar darle el poder de tomar sus propias decisiones a un modo de inteligencia que pueda superar la inteligencia humana

  41. Technological singularity was a term coined by Vernor Vinge, the science fiction author, in 1983. “We will soon create intelligences greater than our own,” he wrote. “When this happens, human history will have reached a kind of singularity, an intellectual transition as impenetrable as the knotted space-time at the center of a black hole, and the world will pass far beyond our understanding.” The idea is that when we become capable of creating beings more intelligent than us, it stands to reason that they or their near descendants will be able to create intelligences more intelligent than themselves. The singularity doesn’t refer so much to the development of superhuman artificial intelligence — although that is foundational to the concept — as it does to the point when our ability to predict what happens next in technological advance breaks down.
