Well that's IMO devoiding the word of original meaning then. You're referring to a revolution, which is a well established term, not a bona fide 'Singularity',

Well that's IMO devoiding the word of original meaning then. You're referring to a revolution, which is a well established term, not a bona fide 'Singularity', which comes from mathematics as a point where the speed of change properly diverges -- as would be the case if we had a geometric time series of events with constant improvements.
This usage of the term really originated in the context of rampant intelligence growth (through a supposed explosive self-improvement), see the wikipedia article:
