Additional Information: This is a quote by inventor Ray Kurzweil from his 2005 TED Talk about the future of technology. This quote is Kurzweil predicting in 2005 that by 2010, computers would be so small that they would operate microscopically in our environment and even in our bodies, combining the "real" world with virtual reality. Though his prediction did not ultimately come true, the ideas discussed in this Talk remain relevant.
