The thing is, technological advances can be exponential, too. Moore's law is one example, but there are others. Here's a quote from Ray Kurzweil, who's a leading exponent of this idea: > "People declared the Human Genome Project a failure halfway through, when one percent had been decoded -- they said it'd take 700 years. My reaction was, no, we're almost done. It was finished seven years later." Personally, I think Kurzweil is an optimist and I suspect it'll be too late for most of us, but we are just beginning to learn to rewire our genes. Take a look at this link, and notice how many significant events happened in the last fifteen years: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gene_therapy#History https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gene_therapy#History Now, imagine that level of change accelerating, because we're still in the early days.
