Singularity University hangs out its shingle
Posted by Roger Farnsworth in Technology and Innovation on February 3rd, 2009
The famous YouTube hit “Did You Know” told us that “We are currently preparing students for jobs that don’t yet exist using technologies that haven’t yet been invented in order to solve problems we don’t even know are problems yet.”
It looks like someone is doing something about that. Singularity University, a high-end educational center of excellence fronted by noted futurist Ray Kurzweil and X-Prize founder Peter Diamandis and headed up by Yahoo/Brickhouse guru Salim Ismail, plans to open its doors at the NASA campus in Silicon Valley this summer and will focus on the potential exponential technology growth offers in dealing with the world’s most challenging issues.
Tuition will be steep, and attendance limited to students who demonstrate exceptional ability and commitment.
So if you are passionate about the promise of the future, and can wrap your head around the theoretical potential of technological hyper-evolution, there will soon be a place for you to drink from the educational fire hose.
