On predicting the future...

The next level of A.I. goes more towards the abstract idea in what this unlimited amount of intelligence can do with our society if it flows through networks and becomes available to everyone. You can also compare this towards the idea of the current storage of space in the cloud, but then with a steady stream of intelligence that you can "plug in to". Soon after this is launched it will become a commodity, and a layer that can be applied on top of any service or product. In combination with the broadening possibilities of physical robots this becomes way more fun. Imagine it as "IQ as a service" or "on demand IQ".
