The technological singularity is a theoretical future point of unprecedented technological progress—typically associated with advancements in computer hardware or the ability of machines to improve themselves using artificial intelligence.
Vernor Vinge (I recommend you read anything and everything by him) writes quite extensively about this in many of his works. I find it fascinating and quite scary to even postulate that we as humans are greedy enough and stupid enough to invent something that could conceivably be our downfall. I welcome comments on this and would encourage feed back and any more information you want to provide. I may actually sit down and outline my opinions on technological singularity but right now don't have the time or energy.
