Abstract
Moore’s Law and Kurzweill’s Law of Accelerated Returns predict that technology will significantly change our lives –not only directly by giving us more power to meet our basic physical needs, but indirectly in art, society, governance, war, ethics, and religion. Progress is being made in three areas which are not only new, but have exponential and far-reaching impacts: 1. Nanotechnologies that can precisely and programmatically control individual atoms, 2. Aerospace technologies that can spread our biosphere beyond Earth, and 3. Computer technologies that can improve our thinking.
