This is true plus I have never read or heard anyone say life will be a utopia. We will just see major advances in AI that will make it smarter then "a" human by 2029 so if we want to keep up we will have to become transhuman. That is why we call it the technological singularity.

Back in the early 1980's I was an early adopter of the Texas Instruments TI-99 4A. It came with Space Invaders and was affordable at the time. I probably learned more about computers and programming with that unit then with the many others I have owned and used since. I created and was president of a local TI-99 4A computer club and got a part time job with Texas Instruments supporting and promoting the computer in local stores. I also ran a computer bulletin board (BBS) on a TI-99 long before the internet.
The day after IBM announced the availability of the first PC, I was out of a part time job and the TI-99 4A quickly became history. A friend of mine at that time purchased one of the first available IBM PC's. I think he paid over $4K. Myself and many of my geek friends thought that made him a geek God!

Unsupervised, Mobile and Wireless Brain–Computer Interfaces on the Horizon
This is what I have been waiting for and would like to have it in the next 5-10 years. In fact by 2020 would be awesome.
This is from the Scientific American:
Juliano Pinto, a 29-year-old paraplegic, kicked off the 2014 World Cup in São Paulo with a robotic exoskeleton suit that he wore and controlled with his mind. The event was broadcast internationally and served as a symbol of the exciting possibilities of brain-controlled machines. Over the last few decades research into brain–computer interfaces (BCIs), which allow direct communication between the brain and an external device such a computer or prosthetic, has skyrocketed. Although these new developments are exciting, there are still major hurdles to overcome before people can easily use these devices as a part of daily life.

An interesting episode of "The Mind" on PBS airing last night covered the subject of the mind-machine-computer current and future advances pretty well.

You know randomly I happen to see it and have it on DVR and will watch it. It does look good even though I had never heard of that show its not set to record every new episode.
The future and by 2030 and why I call it the singularity.
Before we address the aforementioned question, let’s first try to answer this question and understand where we stand in the field of Nanotechnology. Let’s begin with what is Nanotechnology and why do we need to understand and focus on this.
Well… to begin with Nanotechnology is an emerging field of science dealing with substances or materials in the ‘nano’ or nanometer range. One nanometer is equal to 10-9 meter. From this, you can easily get an idea of the range of size of the particles dealt with in Nanotechnology. Nanotechnology basically deals with the methods of manipulating matter on an atomic or molecular level to invent something useful and innovative. It is diverse in nature and has a vast and broad range application in several other fields such as agriculture, medicine, electronics, biomaterials and other consumer based products such as nano robots.
Hay Josseppie Some of the applications of nanotechnology people talk about or say to me that may work and change the world.
nanobots that bring chemotherapy drugs to the cancer target.
I think they are testing this now on animals now just not humans now.
Talked about use of magnets to control it and drive it to the area of the body.
nanobots performed surgery operation on clog arteries or heart surgery and other applications like fighting infectious disease so on.
You think this is all 10 to 15 years out? Or more like 20 to 30 years out? small nanobots to clean up oil spills, eat garbage and clean up chemical waste!!
This would really change the world. Well no talk on this by the media or popular science.
You think this is too is 10 to 15 years out? Or more like 20 to 30 years out?
