Artificial Intelligence Will Transform Our World.

When Mulhall sees the future, he pictures every home having a virtually
cost-free desktop fabricator, not unlike an ink jet printer, that is able to
create any three-dimensional object desired; he envisions being able to change
the color of a car, or clothes, simply by speaking. Mulhall, who heads an
environmental software consultancy, believes that nanotechnology, the ability
to rearrange individual atoms, will lead to technological advances that will
change every aspect of our world, including our own species. Mulhall' s
exuberance, however, does not fully compensate for his repetitiveness and lack
of specificity when he postulates that nanotechnology will lead to such leaps
forward in computing power that we will soon create robots capable of
independent thought, emotional response and reproduction.
