It does make for a nice fantasy...I got swept up in it for a while. After thinking about it for a while though, I started to have doubts, at least about his time frames. You are right about the information singularity though, I still trip over how easy it is. I remember my earlier computing experiences back in the 80s with the commodore; the computer was a toy. Even back in 91 with my crash-prone Mac classic; it was still a toy. Then in 96 people kept talking about this "Internet". I went to a PC at my school, typed in a few words and answers came back. At that moment I thought Holy s---, it happened without me. In a way, I've been in that state of shock ever since.
