Although all you say is true and I'm glad for it, its being true does not inspire me with the quasi religious zeal that many seem to feel about Kurzweil's Singularity thesis. Many programs still suck. If you had told somone 15 yrs ago what you are saying now, they would have thought it would be near computer Nirvana. However, although day-to-day experience in this New World contains many improvements, it's not as wondrous as it would have sounded 15 yrs. ago. We have to find the meaning of life elsewhere.
