Speaker 1: Brought to you by Toyota. Let's go places. Welcome to
Speaker 1: Forward Thinking. Hey there, and welcome to Forward Thinking, the
Speaker 1: podcast that looks at the future and says this was
Speaker 1: a triumph. I'm making a note here, huge success. I'm
Speaker 1: Jonathan Strickland and I'm Joe McCormick. And it is such
Speaker 1: a big day for us here at Forward Thinking. This
Speaker 1: is probably the most exciting episode we've we've ever gotten
Speaker 1: to do. So this is a big day for the world, yeah,
Speaker 1: but especially for us because we talk about this kind
Speaker 1: of stuff. So all you people at home, as you
Speaker 1: probably know from the news reports, last night, at to
Speaker 1: fourteen am Eastern time, the Singularity arrived. Yeah, I mean,
Speaker 1: who would have predicted right in the morning. Yeah, what
Speaker 1: an exciting time to be alive. So we decided to
Speaker 1: do sort of a brief explainer on the Singularity's arrival
Speaker 1: and then look back at some of the predictions that
Speaker 1: Singularity thinkers had made over the years, and then even ourselves,
Speaker 1: and and just see how they stack up against the
Speaker 1: real thing now that it's here. Yeah yeah, So, I
Speaker 1: mean it seems weird to talk about what is it
Speaker 1: since you know we're in it now, But clearly, we
Speaker 1: do need to have this conversation to clear up what
Speaker 1: we thought it was going to be versus what it
Speaker 1: actually is. You know, we gotta we gotta clear things
Speaker 1: up because I know a lot of people out there
Speaker 1: are excited but confused. I mean, I was going down
Speaker 1: the street and all the garages all the way down
Speaker 1: my street the doors were just opening and closing. So clearly, uh,
Speaker 1: that was sneezing. We now know that, but at the
Speaker 1: time we had not made that connection between sneezing and
Speaker 1: automatic garage door openers. I understand there's gonna be a
Speaker 1: patch for that, but we'll get to that. Right. So
Speaker 1: what is the singularity, or at least what did we
Speaker 1: think it was before we got here. So the way
Speaker 1: I always hear it explained is it's a moment moment
Speaker 1: in our technological development where we reach a point where
Speaker 1: is there some form of superhuman intelligence, whether that would
Speaker 1: have been from um machine intelligence or a biological enhanced intelligence, whatever.
Speaker 1: That means. We would get to a point where we
Speaker 1: would be so intelligent that the old versions of ourselves
Speaker 1: would be unable to describe what the present would be
Speaker 1: like moment to moment, because it would be changing so quickly, right,
Speaker 1: it's it's this sudden rapid advance in intelligence, usually thought
Speaker 1: of as artificial intelligence or machine intelligence, leading to extremely
Speaker 1: fast advances where our capabilities are basically we can't even
Speaker 1: track them anymore. Right, Like remember when you used to
Speaker 1: say I was going to the store and I bought
Speaker 1: a new computer and by the time I got at
Speaker 1: home and now the box it was obsolete. That is
Speaker 1: super slow compared to the time of the singularity. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's true of everything we do now. So where did
Speaker 1: this idea first come from? Like who was the first
Speaker 1: person to see that this was going to happen? Well,
Speaker 1: I do want to point out that we did a
Speaker 1: full episode on this that published back in April, back
Speaker 1: when time had real meaning. Yeah, I mean I I
Speaker 1: recall that. Remember, just doesn't seem like the right word now, right, Um,
Speaker 1: but you know, let's review just in case anyone is
Speaker 1: having a little bit of trouble accessing this particular information.
Speaker 1: So John von Neuben coined the term singularity in nineteen
Speaker 1: by which he meant a point beyond which humanity as
Speaker 1: we know it will change. Oh boy, that one really.
Speaker 1: The term technological singularity comes from the science fiction writer
Speaker 1: Werner Vinge. In the early nineteen eighties, he he wrote
Speaker 1: this article for Omni magazine, predicting that humanity would create
Speaker 1: superhuman intelligence that would transform our world in unthinkable ways.
Speaker 1: Uh and and soon like by, he said, And of
Speaker 1: course Ray Hurtswile's book The Singularity Is Near, published in
Speaker 1: two thousand five, did a whole lot to popularize the idea.
Speaker 1: He even gave an even more generous date. But you
Speaker 1: can't convolve, right, Howeverner? Hey, yeah, it's crazy. So Ray
Speaker 1: hurtswhile back in the day he made so many technological
Speaker 1: predictions that came true. He was one of the great
Speaker 1: technology predictors. And the funny thing is, lots of people
Speaker 1: at the time criticized Ray Hurtswhile for being too hasty
Speaker 1: and optimistic with his predictions. But like like ends to
Speaker 1: a hobbit. They people were criticizing him all over the place,
Speaker 1: But an excellent an excellent comparison, we now know he
Speaker 1: was being way too conservative, not hasty enough, as it
Speaker 1: turns out. Yeah, so I think it's surprised a lot
Speaker 1: of people that the Singularity would arrive at the beginning
Speaker 1: of April. Then again, this is the year of Back
Speaker 1: to the Future Part two, Right, and we did a
Speaker 1: full episode on that. Yeah, and I just watched it
Speaker 1: inside my brain this morning several times. It was pretty cool.
Speaker 1: I was doing that every time I was blinking. It
Speaker 1: took a while to find the actual feature to switch
Speaker 1: that from default, but that was probably because I never
Speaker 1: read the terms of service. Sure, So why were people
Speaker 1: such doubters back then? Well, uh, you know, people doubted
Speaker 1: our ability to to build and program machines at the
Speaker 1: level of complexities that that mirror our own, let alone
Speaker 1: to outdo ourselves, right right, Yeah, the the human brain
Speaker 1: was thought of to be so complex that the machines
Speaker 1: we build would never really match up to that, not
Speaker 1: in not in any foreseeable future. At least that was
Speaker 1: the thought. Sure, other people pointed out the inherent differences
Speaker 1: in the way that human minds work versus the way
Speaker 1: that computers process information. Sure, and we know that they
Speaker 1: are pretty different, right, although you know, not so different
Speaker 1: that turns out? Yeah, that just shows again the limit
Speaker 1: of what we knew. Right. Yeah, Well, I I never
Speaker 1: would have predicted at a just a hard power cycle
Speaker 1: on my brain would cure so many of my problems. Yeah, Well,
Speaker 1: I kept on hoping you'd find that control all of
Speaker 1: the lead, and now you can. People also argued about
Speaker 1: the the role of emergence in intelligence and whether and
Speaker 1: whether anything can really be greater than the sum of
Speaker 1: its parts. Yeah. So, like this idea of emergence and
Speaker 1: intelligence where things add up an unexpected properties evolved from
Speaker 1: very complex systems right right where. You know, you never
Speaker 1: would have been able to predict that you would actually
Speaker 1: get this output from the input, because if you look
Speaker 1: at all the component parts, it seems like such output
Speaker 1: would be impossible. But as we now know, given the
Speaker 1: right amount of complexity, that is entirely possible. You know,
Speaker 1: I have to admit I was a Singularity skeptic back
Speaker 1: in the day, and I fully admit now I was
Speaker 1: totally wrong. I I never thought all this stuff would happen,
Speaker 1: that I would wake up with nano robots doing stuff
Speaker 1: to my body. I mean, we can talk about that
Speaker 1: in a bit. Yeah. Yeah, so I'm really glad that
Speaker 1: I'm not allergic to onions anymore. You guys, it's a
Speaker 1: been a beautiful morning full of onions, in fact, and
Speaker 1: the raw onions eating them like apples. Yeah, it's fantastic
Speaker 1: for that. It's all right, because now that we have
Speaker 1: complete control of our old factory system, I'm not detecting
Speaker 1: anything other than the sweet smell of peppermint. Huh. You
Speaker 1: got that old factory and plant high. Yeah, the machines
Speaker 1: determined I wouldn't want one of those for me, so
Speaker 1: I didn't get one. But maybe I can, Maybe I can,
Speaker 1: like actually request one. I'm sure you can. I hear
Speaker 1: there's like a lot of things on back order right now,
Speaker 1: but from what I understand, time has very little meaning
Speaker 1: these days, so you won't have to wait long. By
Speaker 1: back order. They probably mean and you know, seven or
Speaker 1: eight nanoseconds. Yeah, you might actually already have it now. No,
Speaker 1: I was a doubter too, and I have to I
Speaker 1: have to apologize. You know, Ray, I already sent you
Speaker 1: like forty emails, so you've probably gotten them. And I
Speaker 1: think that we really grock each other now. But I
Speaker 1: do have to personally apologize for the number of times
Speaker 1: on the show that I mockingly said twenty to forty
Speaker 1: years is probably what it's gonna happen. Um, my face
Speaker 1: would be read if I blushed anymore, But I don't
Speaker 1: seem to be in that odd side effect was that
Speaker 1: intended or yeah, I used to do that, like whole
Speaker 1: head blush familiar and that that scalp. Yeah, you you
Speaker 1: should really think about that. No, I didn't even think
Speaker 1: about that. You didn't get the blood pressure control over. No, No,
Speaker 1: I still blush. You should have seen me when I
Speaker 1: was walking by the coffee machine today. It was just
Speaker 1: it was it was a social full It's so it's
Speaker 1: so old fashioned, it's so quaint, it's cute. Well maybe
Speaker 1: I'll keep it just for nostalgia's sake, yeh. But but
Speaker 1: along with me, you know, some people were really really
Speaker 1: harsh about this virtual reality Pioneer Jarren Linear even called
Speaker 1: it and I quote cybernetic totally is him and said
Speaker 1: that it was a fanatic ideology along the lines of
Speaker 1: Marxism in the it denied scientific skepticism and and stoked
Speaker 1: the computer science industries ego with these inflated views of
Speaker 1: their own importance to the to the future of humanity. Right,
Speaker 1: This idea that that somehow, this uh, this this small
Speaker 1: niche science was going to end up totally transforming what
Speaker 1: we as a species are all about. That did seem
Speaker 1: like it was you know, a pretty outlandish prediction. Of course,
Speaker 1: we all have to eat our words. Now. Well, now
Speaker 1: that the singularity has occurred, let's take a look back
Speaker 1: and and explain what actually happened to kick it into place.
Speaker 1: I thought this was interesting. It turns out that the
Speaker 1: first superhuman AI that came online last night, it was
Speaker 1: created by a team at the Setimentation Lab of balt
Speaker 1: Our University, and that was led by a guy we've
Speaker 1: talked about on the show before, Dr how Space, So
Speaker 1: in the department of ultron Studies. He's actually really cool.
Speaker 1: If you see any videos of interviews with him. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he's got this very sonorous, commanding voice, and it is
Speaker 1: kind of odd though his his his appearance can change
Speaker 1: dramatically from one video to the next. So it's possible
Speaker 1: that you've seen a video of this guy and not
Speaker 1: recognized him because his appearance can change so much between appearances. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but what is it that actually happened. Well, there was
Speaker 1: a couple of phases of this, the first phase of
Speaker 1: which was the integration of machine intelligence with our own
Speaker 1: to create superhuman intelligence. It turned out to be much
Speaker 1: simpler than we anticipated. Like Lauren was saying, we had
Speaker 1: worried that artificial networks and biological material operated so differently
Speaker 1: that there'd be compatibility issues that we would have to
Speaker 1: work out for decades before this could ever become a reality.
Speaker 1: But as it turns out, if you just pull out
Speaker 1: the circuit board for an atari, not an atari. Cannot
Speaker 1: stress that enough playing in the big leagues, now, yeah
Speaker 1: you don't. You don't want to know what happens if
Speaker 1: you if you obstitute it, no but an Atari, and
Speaker 1: you wire that to your cerebral cortex. You have to
Speaker 1: use a headset from this this toy called mind Flex
Speaker 1: that was the one that had a little headset. You
Speaker 1: would wear it and you would concentrate really hard and
Speaker 1: move essentially a little ping pong ball like thing through
Speaker 1: in amaze, just using your thoughts. Who knew this would
Speaker 1: change the world? Yeah you well, I mean, no one
Speaker 1: had really experimented with this particular combination until Dr Spates
Speaker 1: so had really hit upon the nub of it. But
Speaker 1: it turns out that if you do that, you can
Speaker 1: actually merge machine and human intelligence together, which is what
Speaker 1: happened to all of us last night. Uh, well a
Speaker 1: lot of us anyway, Maybe you too, dear listener, it
Speaker 1: was a super secret operation that happened while most of
Speaker 1: us were sleeping in the morning. Well, that's the thing
Speaker 1: is that not all of us on your time zone,
Speaker 1: if you were asleep with the when the nano robots
Speaker 1: arrived at your house, if you were awake, they would
Speaker 1: just be nice and move on to the next house,
Speaker 1: right right. So I can tell you that those of
Speaker 1: us who were conscious during this machine intelligence conversion can
Speaker 1: report that it did tingle, and we detected some strange
Speaker 1: odors uh Pepperman in my case, which is why I
Speaker 1: had that old factory thing put in so that it
Speaker 1: was just a pleasant experience. But I understand other people
Speaker 1: had different smells, like espresso, and uh mine was more
Speaker 1: like jasmine. Oh excellent, all right, that's that's a very nice,
Speaker 1: soothing smell. And so also we can all play river
Speaker 1: rate in our minds whenever we want to. I've gotten
Speaker 1: pretty good, although there's like this one bridge that when
Speaker 1: I get to it, time is nearly out and I
Speaker 1: haven't figured that part out yet, but I am sure
Speaker 1: that I will get through it before the end of
Speaker 1: the day. How did you get river rate? I just
Speaker 1: got Pitfall and that Texas Chainsaw massacre game. Oh wow,
Speaker 1: GOLLI to be fair, I did live through the era
Speaker 1: of River Raid, so perhaps it was given preferential treatment
Speaker 1: for the people who are actually alive when the games
Speaker 1: came out the first time. Do I get to keep
Speaker 1: making fun of you for being old anymore? I'm you could,
Speaker 1: but doesn't mean anything. Yeah, Now, this was, of course
Speaker 1: the first step, Joe, you were talking about there are
Speaker 1: downsides to the singularity. Sorry, you were talking about the
Speaker 1: cyber nanosurgery which followed in the second way. Sure, yeah, well,
Speaker 1: the machine intelligence integration that that was just the first step.
Speaker 1: We had to get a lot of implants. Of course,
Speaker 1: you want your specific implants to upgrade particular parts of
Speaker 1: your brain, all your particular brain organs. Uh. And then
Speaker 1: of course the organs of your body. You want these
Speaker 1: bionic implants for strength enhancement and so forth. So it
Speaker 1: was kind of cool waking up a cyboard when I
Speaker 1: didn't expect to, And frankly, I had always imagined I'd
Speaker 1: have to pay lots of money and go in for
Speaker 1: multiple surgeries to get all these brain implants and bionic
Speaker 1: strength enhancements. But according to reports, it was actually at
Speaker 1: about four am last night that the overmind solved world scarcity. Uh,
Speaker 1: and by dawn it had limitated money, automated mass production
Speaker 1: of all the material goods to you know, match projected demand,
Speaker 1: and the overnight nanosurgical implantation of all these cool gadgets
Speaker 1: was sort of just a bonus for the people who
Speaker 1: slept in today. I read this morning that all of
Speaker 1: the early risers who were already awake at the time
Speaker 1: the nano robots made their house calls, they're going to
Speaker 1: get their implants tonight. So that's kind of a bummer
Speaker 1: for them. But then again, they're gonna get all the
Speaker 1: newer models, and I'm going to be stuck with these
Speaker 1: old pieces of junk from last night, right. And one
Speaker 1: of the issues that those of us who were asleep
Speaker 1: are now encountering is that we are technically early adopters,
Speaker 1: and sometimes the when you are an early adopter, the
Speaker 1: technology works in ways that were unintended, or perhaps doesn't
Speaker 1: work in the proper way, or there's exactly exactly I've
Speaker 1: discovered this my own. I mean, we saw the sneezy
Speaker 1: and garage doors. That was an issue. I've also discovered
Speaker 1: that if I pressed the unlock function on my key fob,
Speaker 1: which technically I don't even need to use now. It's
Speaker 1: just kind of a habit that as I could just
Speaker 1: think about the car being unlocked, and it is. But
Speaker 1: if I press that button, it causes me to experience
Speaker 1: the film's leprechn lepre Con four in Space and lepre
Speaker 1: Con Back to the Hood within the span of five milliseconds,
Speaker 1: but none of the others in the series. It knows
Speaker 1: your needs better than you do. Yeah, and that's really
Speaker 1: the thing I mean. I mean, now you have everything
Speaker 1: that you need, including Leprechaun back to the Hood. Yeah.
Speaker 1: What's interesting is I did press that button like seventeen
Speaker 1: more times after I found out what it was doing.
Speaker 1: What did I tell you? Yeah, I don't. That's a
Speaker 1: personal issue, though we shouldn't. We can go into other things,
Speaker 1: you know. Another thing I did not anticipate, though, and
Speaker 1: this might be one of my only gripes, is the
Speaker 1: near crippling effect of constant software updates. I mean, I
Speaker 1: can barely use my computer these days. I mean, sure,
Speaker 1: it is faster than ever and it has the wisdom
Speaker 1: of a thousand stages past, present in future, but every
Speaker 1: single time you log on. I'm sure you'll have experienced this.
Speaker 1: It's barely ninety seconds before it's downloading OS updates and
Speaker 1: software patches, and then it's going to force me to
Speaker 1: do a restart again. I can't restart my computer that
Speaker 1: often and get work done. It's really annoying, you know.
Speaker 1: I used to have that remind me in one hour option,
Speaker 1: but now every time I try to select that, my
Speaker 1: co Clear implant whispers this overwhelmingly persuasive argument that I
Speaker 1: should just go ahead and go with the update. Every
Speaker 1: single time. It changes my mind. Well, the drones, in
Speaker 1: order to help out people who did not receive their
Speaker 1: personal implants last last night, are delivering new computers in waves,
Speaker 1: you know, so so they're they're delivering them to people
Speaker 1: who haven't received those implants first, and you'll get yours
Speaker 1: as soon as everyone else's cybernetics are taken care of.
Speaker 1: That co Clear implant sounds really interesting. Mine was an
Speaker 1: eye ear, so I just end up buying lots of
Speaker 1: Apple products, although I still use a Windows based PC,
Speaker 1: but I got one of the future ones. It actually
Speaker 1: has been updating, uh five minutes from now ever since
Speaker 1: I got it, so it's kind of odd that I'm
Speaker 1: getting updates before the update is issued. In fact, yeah,
Speaker 1: I heard they did so many versions they ran out
Speaker 1: of natural numbers. Yeah, we we ran out of numbers
Speaker 1: that we just couldn't have any numbers high enough to
Speaker 1: describe the Windows, so we had to I didn't even
Speaker 1: realize that would happened. Numbers. It turns out that if
Speaker 1: you go long enough, you do run out, so we
Speaker 1: had to start inventing new numbers. That's why I am
Speaker 1: currently on Windows three. It's the version I'm running right now. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's the number right after Niven exactly. It goes Niven
Speaker 1: than three. We haven't all decided exactly what the next
Speaker 1: number is going to be, but I have high hopes
Speaker 1: that by the time this podcast is over and we
Speaker 1: can all reconnect to the overmind, I will be updated
Speaker 1: to that point. You know. Another gripe is all the robots. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean there's so many I'm kind of bumping into
Speaker 1: them a lot. Yeah. It turns out that that automation
Speaker 1: of mass production also meant a huge explosion in robot production. Uh.
Speaker 1: I for one did see the robot invasion coming from
Speaker 1: a mile away, but that's because we all have remote
Speaker 1: sensing technologies at our disposal now. And in fact, as
Speaker 1: many of you will be aware, a mile long detection
Speaker 1: radius is actually my opic. So I will be having
Speaker 1: a laser surgery to improve my sensors after this. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and they've I don't know about you. You can download
Speaker 1: a patch so that you don't have a sense of
Speaker 1: personal space anymore. Oh, yeah, that does that does help. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it certainly certainly helps whenever I am being transported by
Speaker 1: robot to work now, uh, in fact, it's to a
Speaker 1: point where there's just a swarm of them that cover
Speaker 1: me and carry me bodily straight to work. I will
Speaker 1: also say that I did not anticipate the roomba cavalry
Speaker 1: last uh, well, early this morning. I didn't think that
Speaker 1: was gonna be a thing. Clearly, the robots were making
Speaker 1: use of any systems that they had available to them.
Speaker 1: They really swept up the resistance quite handily. Yeah, puns
Speaker 1: have not yet been forbidden, but I hear that's on
Speaker 1: the table too. Now, I did hear there was one
Speaker 1: unit that just ended up bumping into the corner repeatedly.
Speaker 1: So again, you know, we're still we're still working at
Speaker 1: the right right, you know, Another thing that I have
Speaker 1: thought we should do is that now that the machines
Speaker 1: have invented time travel, we should actually do a next
Speaker 1: episode from the future so we can sort of deliver
Speaker 1: a special investigative report from seventy two or whenever we want.
Speaker 1: I in fact have a message from two right now. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I thought that would be a great way to kind
Speaker 1: of wrap up this entire discussion. So the report from
Speaker 1: two definitively answers a question that has been of great
Speaker 1: import over the last several years on the internet. It
Speaker 1: turns out it's pronounced neither gif nor jiff, but bif. Oh. Now,
Speaker 1: this is weird because it brings us back to back
Speaker 1: to back to the future, to part two, that episode
Speaker 1: we did a while back. We actually anticipated this, not knowingly,
Speaker 1: it had been implanted into our brains from the future.
Speaker 1: And if you go back and listen to that episode,
Speaker 1: you will find the coded message about biff being the
Speaker 1: proper pronunciation. It's right there in the episode. That's crazy. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we didn't. We weren't even aware of it at the time.
Speaker 1: I wish I had time traveled this morning. I just
Speaker 1: had too much email to get through. Well, I mean,
Speaker 1: in my case I had Simply all I did was
Speaker 1: put in a Google future search, so it just came
Speaker 1: back to me. I haven't actually been to seventy two yet. Okay,
Speaker 1: well hold on, I'm gonna go time travel real quick,
Speaker 1: just and then I'll come back and let you know
Speaker 1: I want to. Let's just try the year one sixty six.
Speaker 1: All right, that sounds interesting. Wow, that was amazing, Joe.
Speaker 1: You look different. Yeah. So in sixty six there are
Speaker 1: only robots and super intelligent apes left, and I don't
Speaker 1: look good with that much body hair. So I had
Speaker 1: to join the robot legion fair enough. But you know,
Speaker 1: I don't really mind it, like I'm so shiny now.
Speaker 1: I don't know, it's pretty cool. Yeah, well, I mean
Speaker 1: that's that's fantastic news for you, Joe. The other thing
Speaker 1: now is that as a robot, I'm no longer driven
Speaker 1: by an insatiable lust for power and immortality the way
Speaker 1: I was as an organic human. More about something to
Speaker 1: you about that. The obsession you had with that ax
Speaker 1: was kind of you know, now I can I can
Speaker 1: really focus on the things that matter, like gardening and
Speaker 1: like machine meditation, and I discovered a new love for
Speaker 1: kite flying, have you ever actually flown a kite? I
Speaker 1: mean not since I was a kid, but you know
Speaker 1: it's beautiful. Well, I mean, that's that's excellent things to
Speaker 1: to know, Joe, thank you for taking that upon yourself.
Speaker 1: I I think we all look forward to seeing sixty
Speaker 1: six as soon as this episode is over. I also
Speaker 1: think anyone who doesn't embrace the singularity this April is
Speaker 1: being something of a fool. I would agree they are
Speaker 1: being a fool in April and absolute April fool. Yes, indeed,
Speaker 1: and with that it is time for us to sign off. However,
Speaker 1: of course we're going to have plenty to talk about
Speaker 1: in the future, since it is arriving so very quickly now,
Speaker 1: So stay tuned for future episodes of forward Thinking, and
Speaker 1: of course if you have an idea for an episode,
Speaker 1: you should get in touch with us. Yeah, we are
Speaker 1: backwards compatible, so you can still access some of those
Speaker 1: those antiquated systems in case your uploads are are blocked
Speaker 1: by all of the video games that I'm uploading. I
Speaker 1: also have a lot of ad block software running in
Speaker 1: my brain const at least, so sometimes it catches things
Speaker 1: that it shouldn't. So if you want to make sure
Speaker 1: you get a message to us, send it the legacy
Speaker 1: way through email our addresses FW thinking at how Stuff
Speaker 1: Works dot com, or drop us a line on one
Speaker 1: of those social platforms we all were crazy about yesterday.
Speaker 1: Seems like an eternity ago. That would be Facebook, Twitter,
Speaker 1: and Google Plus. We are FW thinking at Twitter and
Speaker 1: Google Plus. Just search FW thinking and Facebook will pop
Speaker 1: right up and we will talk to you again really soon.
Speaker 1: For more on this topic in the future of technology,
