Ray Kurzweil's crystal ball

Here's a link to a short but interesting list of technology predictions from Ray Kurzweil, including some "hits" and "misses". If you haven't heard of Mr. Kurzweil before, check out his page on Wikipedia. He's been involved in a lot of interesting things, and has some very interesting views related to health and aging (consuming 150+ pills per day and undergoing some form of 'transfusions' on the weekends).

Quick follow-up: The Wikipedia article has some interesting criticism of Kurzweil's predictions and his concept of a Singularity. That being said, the man has done some amazing things in his lifetime.
