I think it is a bias.
Anyways, the singularity won't happen. In physics and in reality in general, the presence of a singularity means that we are wrong, or at least, that our theory is incomplete. For example, black hole singularities, an artefact of general relativity may disappear with quantum gravity. Similarly, I think the idea of a technological singularity is just a sign that our projection is wrong.
What am I waiting? I am waiting to be surprised! We expected flying cars, we got internet connected smartphones, which I think are much more exciting.
I am personally excited about nuclear technology, but I guess I am 50 years too late, the enthusiasm has died out, still, I'd like to see fusion power actually work, and nuclear spacecraft too.
