Doing real world projects is, I think, the best way to learn and also to engage the world and find out what the world is all about.

Biological evolution is too slow for the human species. Over the next few decades, it's going to be left in the dust.
Ray Kurzweil
Intuition is linear our imaginations are weak. Even the brightest of us only extrapolate from what we know now for the most part, we're afraid to really stretch.
Ray Kurzweil
Mobile phones are misnamed. They should be called gateways to human knowledge.
Ray Kurzweil
By the time we get to the 2040s, we'll be able to multiply human intelligence a billionfold. That will be a profound change that's singular in nature. Computers are going to keep getting smaller and smaller. Ultimately, they will go inside our bodies and brains and make us healthier, make us smarter.
Ray Kurzweil
By the end of this decade, computers will disappear as distinct physical objects, with displays built in our eyeglasses, and electronics woven in our clothing, providing full-immersion visual virtual reality.
Ray Kurzweil
I'm working on artificial intelligence. Actually, natural language understanding, which is to get computers to understand the meaning of documents.
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.
