Bring the Singularity Closer- Psychophysical Law

You can help bring forth the singularity. After reading Larry Dossey's book, "The Extraordinary Healing Power of Ordinary Things," and his chapter on novelty, I realized simply thinking about, meditating on, and promoting the singularity helps bring it closer. Dossey outlines Gustav Fechner's Psychophysical Law, basically that it is hard, if not impossible, to maintain a level of intensity equal to the intensity generated when experiencing something for the first time. Dossey devotes a small section to "The Pleasure of Prejudice", and says "Many radical ideas throughout history have benefited from Fechner's great principle." As such, the more the singularity and Kurzweil's outline and timeline of the coming singularity is promoted and talked about, the closer it comes to reality. The reason being, people's initial skepticism or denial will soften through repeated exposure. I believe you will find this true for yourself, and for others that you talk to the singularity about. Please consider this as you explore the singularity.

The Future of "Moving Pictures"

If you awake at night from dreams of the future 3D technologies we will be able to exploit, your dreams are closer to reality than you may think. Moving pictures, like those of the 1920's, are obviously a thing of the past and could no more hold the attention of most thirteen-year olds than paint drying. Yet, 3D interactivity would bring most of us to a giddy torrent of giggles.
And here is the future before our eyes. (Read the article here.) Researchers are on their way to creating, " a system that provides interaction with 3D images without the need for any additional hardware such as gloves or virtual reality goggles. [!!]" The article is titled, "Moving Pictures," in the sense that you will actually be able to "move" 3D pictures and objects with no more than your bare hands. The applications for this technology seem endless and exciting. The idea also begs the singularity closer, so close we can almost touch it.

Jet Engine (just a bit smaller)

Scientists are developing ways to have jet turbine engines at the nanolevel. This means an increase in power in all future devices and could just let your iPod battery life last just a bit longer.
