Am I too old now, expecting someone to make a Rainbows End reference? Vernor Vinge predicted this 20 years ago.

(Also the person who coined Singularity, though Ray Kurzweil really wanted everyone to think it was his idea.)

Yep, unpleasantly close prediction. Probably shouldn't give them any ideas.

    Problem is, they all read the same books we do.
