Exponential change ahead for ... people

Kurzweil gives a keynote at the Game Developers Conference, providing an update to some of his Singularity predictions. He also shows a handheld he developed that can accurately read cursive. His predictions include biotech enhancements and exponential longevity.

Now that information technology is affecting medicine, Kurzweil projected that in 15 years, the life expectancy of people will start expanding at the rate of more than a year for every year that passes, essentially not only delaying death, but actually pushing it further away with each passing day.
