Ray Kurzweil
All of our schools need to bring 'learn from doing' into the mainstream education, not just afternoon.
Ray Kurzweil
What we spend our time on is probably the most important decision we make.
Ray Kurzweil
Science fiction is the great opportunity to speculate on what could happen. It does give me, as a futurist, scenarios.
Ray Kurzweil
The ethical debates are like stones in a stream. The water runs around them. You haven't seen any biological technologies held up for one week by any of these debates.
Ray Kurzweil
The fate of the universe is a decision yet to be made, one which we will intelligently consider when the time is right.

Ray Kurzweil
When I was a student at MIT, we all shared one computer and it took up a whole building. The computer in your cell phone today is a million times cheaper and a thousand times more powerful. What now fits in your pocket 25 years from now will fit into a blood cell and will again be millions of times more cost effective.
Ray Kurzweil
When you talk to a human in 2035, you'll be talking to someone that's a combination of biological and non-biological intelligence.
Ray Kurzweil
Emotional intelligence is what humans are good at and that's not a sideshow. That's the cutting edge of human intelligence.
Ray Kurzweil
In 1999, I said that in about a decade we would see technologies such as self-driving cars and mobile phones that could answer your questions, and people criticized these predictions as unrealistic.
Ray Kurzweil
Death gives meaning to our lives. It gives importance and value to time. Time would become meaningless if there were too much of it.
Ray Kurzweil
If we could convert 0.03 percent of the sunlight that falls on the earth into energy, we could meet all of our projected needs for 2030.
Ray Kurzweil
Intelligence is: (a) the most complex phenomenon in the Universe or (b) a profoundly simple process. The answer, of course, is (c) both of the above. It's another one of those great dualities that make life interesting.
Ray Kurzweil
A Singularitarian is someone who understands the Singularity and has reflected on its meaning for his or her own life.
Ray Kurzweil
The need to congregate workers in offices will gradually diminish.
Ray Kurzweil
It is doubling now every two years. Doubling every two years means multiplying by 1,000 in 20 years. At that rate we'll meet 100 percent of our energy needs in 20 years.

Play is just another version of work
