The Present or the Future? 2 October

Digital Intelligence Nine types of intelligence described (Gardner, Goleman): linguistic, logical-mathematical, musical, spatial, bodily- kinesthetic, interpersonal, intrapersonal, naturalistic, and emotional intelligence We have postulated a tenth type: Digital intelligence (Solez, Katz)

Features of Digital Intelligence Full acceptance of new technologies, a focus on logical statements, a strong multitasking ability, an ability to identify and take advantage of potential connections, an ability to separate information into transformable chunks and to reassemble them to new purposes ("bricolage”).

Ray Kurzweil "Technology is the continuation of evolution by other means.... It is in the nature of exponential growth that events develop extremely slowly for extremely long periods of time, but as one glides through the knee of the curve, events erupt at an increasingly furious pace. And that is what we will experience as we enter the twenty-first century." Ray Kurzweil - The Age of Spiritual Machines, When Computers Exceed Human Intelligence

Ray Kurzweil Predictions When computers exceed human intelligence Fully successful machine translation between all languages. When computers and humans become indistinguishable from each other
