More on the Death of the Knowledge Society

April 22, 2009

For those readers interested in this topic, I notice a new article on the topic on the BBC news site, Simulated brain closer to thought and the source project Blue Brain Project referrred to in my original posting.

The quote from Prof Markram is very telling

“It’s not a question of years, it’s one of dollars. The psychology is there today and the technology is there today. It’s a matter of if society wants this. If they want it in 10 years, they’ll have it in 10 years. If they want it in 1000 years, we can wait.”
