[SecurityMatters]

Kurzweil does not claim to know what will happen. I have read several of his books and he mostly seems to talk about how these trends will cause major changes. He then outlines more than one possible outcome. And, he more cautiously says what he thinks may happen. I think his analysis is a little too simplistic in places, but that he is likely to be right about the general trends.

If you are interested in learning more, I recommend "The Singularity is Near". Or, for free, go to http://singinst.org/media/singularitysummit2008 and download videos from the conference last year.
