Signs of the Singularity

Vernor Vinge is still banging on about the Singularity. In this case in the latest IEEE Spectrum, with Signs of the Singularity.

Personally I think that humanity is more than bits and bytes and processing power is not, and never will, be equal to human intelligence. More to the point I suspect we will come across technological revolutions (like printing or the internet), but they will not fundamentally alter human nature, or the essential issues of being human (living, loving, growing old and dying).
