If you think a career as a Film Composer could never be replaced by machines, you might want to listen to the music of composer Emily Howell. Listen to "her" music in the short film "Humans Need Not Apply". We're getting closer and closer to Ray Kurzweil's predicted day in 2029 where machine intelligence surpasses our own and is able to think of ideas and concepts that we do not possess the intelligence to fathom, a moment known as the Singularity (a term borrowed from the physics of black holes). Our progress in nanotechnology, biotechnology, robotics, genetics, and other technologies, is moving us ever closer to the point where we will be able to interface our minds with the digital cloud and vice versa. One day we may even be able to upload our entire consciousness into the digital ether, a moment referred to as Transcendence, a potentially inevitable part of the evolution of intelligence.
