A Book on Singularity (picture from http://singularity.com/images/3DsinJacketFLAT.jpg)
Now, my opinion:
Singularity - will it be a split-second milestone? or is it frequent and continuous progress of events towards it? You see the so called "frequent progressive events" happening around us each month/year...
My view is that, it will be slow enough to be assimilated by our society... and while it happens you don't know it is happening... once it happens you don't know it already happened...
The problem is who is "you" here? They will be your children/grand-children/great-grand-children... they expect the things to be minimum that way as they happen in their times... like today you expect somany things and feel happy about them that they are available to you, while your parents/grand-parents wonder about them, while the same things are a minimum requirement for life for children today...
