The 2049 prediction is WAY out there. Though the short-term predictions are much more feasible.
It's predicting that a laptop will be able to do more calculations per second than all the human brains combined.

Yes, planners do have a nasty, recurring tendency to realize that plans sometimes hit unforseen obstacles. They believe everything will go just as they've said. They generally don't leave enough room for error.Stevenpfo said:Yeah, I think they're basing it off of the improvement curve of current and past computers. To think that everything will go perfectly smooth that whole time with no plateaus is a bit out there.
It already can do some calculations faster than the human brain. Yet, there are many more things the human brain can do, that a computer is far from achieving. Until it achieves those, it will never be superior to the human brain.
The statistics are interesting,
The original version had a lot more information in it, and better music.
I agree. I think it's a good sequel if you've seen the first, though.
(Oh, you're just biased regarding the music)
