Well off the bat the man seemed very professional. Seemed like he was the type of person ready to jump into a full on debate about the state of the economy or our black president. That was not the case obviously.
His theories are very interesting. His mind is way out there. I mean the idea that nanobots would control your body within 20 years is a little crazy. You usually only see things like that on the sci-fi channel or on Star Trek. His ideas on how this will come to be almost mimic the Terminator movies. They compare in the ideas that we will have these drastic breakthrough in technology that will ultimately give this technology a "mind" of its own.
One thing that he did do however was back up his claims. I'm no scientist and can't confirm or deny any of his arguments but the man didn't put anything out their without some strong arguments to back it up. The thing that got me the most was the virtual reality. They idea that we could enter a cyber world through control over brain activity is pretty cool. It’s also a little bit scary to put your mind in the hands of a computer.
As far as his University goes, it’s a start. If he really wants people to buy into his idea globally, getting Google to back him up is a step in the right direction. Google has virtually become an empire on the web. No one other company can even come close to the break throughs they’re pushing out. With them backing him it would really add a lot of fuel to the fire.
As far as if I really believe all this is going to happen, not really. I do believe that someday we could get to this level but I don't think technology will progress as rapidly as he believes. I think the nanobot idea could come around within 100 years more likely, versus 20.
