An exchange between Ray Kurzweil and Michael Dertouzos in MIT's _Technology
Review_ over future technological progress:
Kurzweil vs. Dertouzos
http://www.techreview.com/articles/jan01/dertouzoskurzweil.html
Dertouzos argued that Joy's view was flawed because his predictions were
based on reason which, taken alone, is an inadequate guide to the future.
Dertouzos' column drew an impassioned response from Ray Kurzweil, author
of _The Age of Spiritual Machines_. We print Kurzweil's letter and
Dertouzos' rejoinder.
The _Review_ also has some articles on nanotech and the "ten emerging
technologies that will change the world" (nanotech is not included?).
