Raymond Kurzweil - A genius of man kind

Raymond Kurzweil is truly inspiring for me to research. I wish I could sit down and pick his mind and tear all his thoughts and ideas out and pour them onto paper. I love watching videos on him and seeing what his predictions will be for the future but not the far far away future a future that is in the next couple years.
After watching a handful of videos I chose to write about "Your robot assistant of the future." This video was all about how our computers and internet searching will soon become our personal assistant. Towards the end of the video I was thrown off pretty far. I was thinking that this will happen eventually but he predicts that in 2029 it will become reality. This prediction include that search engines will out perform humans, they will answer questions before we even ask them, they will be able to read and scan 200 million pages before a human could finish one and that they will be able to filter the internet so precisely for one person no one in the world will have the 2 same results. I cant even wrap my mind around that. He thinks computers will start to learn our personalities better than we can learn ourselves. That is crazy!!!! Maybe one day the internet will take over, and the sad part is I might be alive to see it.
