Watched BBC Horizons Human v2.0 two days ago. It focus on Ray Kurzweil and his ideas about The Singularity. He predicts that by 2029 computer intelligence will equal the power of the human brain and he base that prediction on Moore's Law. Moore's law states that "the number of transistors on an integrated circuit for minimum component cost doubles every 24 months". Human v2.0 presents several very interesting ideas and some spectacular and sometimes disturbing research. Like for example the remote controlled rat. You can view this episode on Google Video. They have other BBC Horizon episodes too.
