[maybe intelligence boosting wireless brain nanoimplants able to
communicate via a small external module with a nearby supercomputer?
There may be great potential for better and more extensive use of
permaculture with this new technology]

Machines will achieve human-level artificial intelligence by 2029, a leading
US inventor has predicted.
Humanity is on the brink of advances that will see tiny robots implanted in people's brains to make them more intelligent said engineer Ray Kurzweil.
He said machines and humans would eventually merge through devices implanted
in the body to boost intelligence and health.
"It's really part of our civilisation," Mr Kurzweil said.
"But that's not going to be an alien invasion of intelligent machines to displace
us."
Machines were already doing hundreds of things humans used to do, at human levels of intelligence or better, in many different areas, he said.
