Singularity was kind of invented by Vernor Vinge and is now fully adopted and preached by inventor and scientist Ray Kurzweil, i think most of you
have read his book "Singularity is near", its about exponential technological change.
Vernor Steffen Vinge (pronounced /ˈvɪndʒi/) (born October 2, 1944 in Waukesha, Wisconsin, U.S.) is a retired San Diego State University
Professor of Mathematics, computer scientist, and science fiction author. He is best known for his Hugo Award-winning novels and novellas A Fire Upon
the Deep (1992), A Deepness in the Sky (1999), Rainbows End (2006), Fast Times at Fairmont High (2002) and The Cookie Monster (2004), as well as for
his 1993 essay "The Coming Technological Singularity", in which he argues that exponential growth in technology will reach a point beyond which we
cannot even speculate about the consequences.
