Bill Gates predicted the Singularity 20 years ago?

Check out some really interesting predictions published 20 years ago in Omni magazine, including this one from Bill Gates :"(I)n the next 20 years you won't be able to extrapolate the rate of progress from any previous pattern or curve because the new chips, these local intelligences that can process information, will cause a warp in what it's possible to do. The leap will be unique. I can't think of any equivalent phenomenon in history." /seattlepi.com/
