According to Ray Kurzweil, "Singularity is a future period in which technology change will be so rapid and its impact so profound, that every aspect of human life will be irreversibly transformed; there won't be a clear distinction between the humans and the machines". He predicts that the computers will not remain as we see them today. They will become a part of human bodies and brains in the years to come until we become the hybrid of biological and non-biological intelligence and its components. If we humans look back into our civilization, as it existed and progressed a few thousand years back, it, in no way, compares with the speed at which we are progressing now. A few thousand years before, we barely existed, let alone, progress.

Siri was first introduced in 2011 on the iPhone 4S. When it was first introduced it was fun to play with and receive cute responses from, but it was not too useful. Since then, Siri and its competitors have become increasingly more useful. These phone voice assistants are just a small glimpse of what artificial intelligence could look like in the future. The singularity is a theory of a time in the future when humans create a true artificial super-intelligence.
