This is the truth! It almost feels like Moores law kind of. The further we go, the more time and money needs to be invested to reach the next level. I wonder how many paradigm shifts and quantum leaps remain to be exploited? I'd like to have anti-gravity!! And in computing, I'd like to see a shift to a new paradigm during my time left on the planet. >>>  Better find a way, quick, to push up human IQ into >>>  the 500 range, WITHOUT causing insanity. >> >> What is IQ?

I imagine that our IQ scales (as bad as they might be) start to break down beyond a certain level. --8323328-1227154240-1735050538=:16115--
