Singularity

After reading 2045: The Year Man Becomes Immortal by Lev Grossman, I can't help but feel scared. There is a guy named  Raymond Kurzweil who built a machine that writes music, in the 1960's. This isn't some big accomplishment now of course, but back then ,it should have been huge. Now Raymond Kurzweil has done a lot more. He has predicted that the "end of human civilization as we know it is about 35 years away." He believes that technology is growing faster and faster and 35 years from now, we will be serving technology, technology will not be serving us. This plays out in the fact that if we are serving technology, we could end up with there being no singularity. Which means that
technology will make us all the same such as human cyborgs or robots. Singularity is something that makes all of us different and if we take that away what do we have. We just have the same person with the same ideas and same consciousness, there's just alot of people with the same ideas. Through his research Kurzweil  has made a prediction "Here's what the exponential curves told him. We will successfully reverse-engineer the human brain by the mid-2020s. By the end of that decade, computers will be capable of human-level intelligence." Now first, i doubt that in 10 to 15 years we will have the technology to alter the human brain, we just came out with the droid and the IPhone not too long ago and i just can't see the phone industry doing any better than that. So then why do we believe that there is no cut off point for technology when i can see a possible one for it. I get that there are other things technology is involved in of course, but this one example I think that can be used to show how Kurzweil could be wrong with his predictions. I also think that because of us being aware of these things that could happen as far as losing our singularity to technology, i believe that  because of all the intellectual people we have on this earth and the fact that we keep on encouraging our generation to be different I think that Singularity will not be lost ... at least in our generation, for a pretty long time if ever.
