[extropy-chat] Simplifying Singularity

  Actually, there have been a lot (many would say too many) tinmes when
technology changed the course of humanity forever. E.g., gunpowder,
the atomic bomb, and the transistor.

You might add "change it unrecognizably", or some such. Googling for
"singularity" will probably yield a lot of good ideas.

  Thank you Lee for your response.
  I may not be a genius when it comes to math, physics and science but i'm pretty
  sure I know how to Google,  maybe we are not,  Googling the same things)
   
  At the same time, your point is you think that the Singularity will be an
  unrecognizably event?
  I don't know.  
  In my script, it's recognizable.  I was just asking if it's a good phrase.  Does 
  it sum up exactly the definitions on Google or does it seem completely off?  In one
  phrase,  define Singularity?  That's all I was trying to do.  
   
  Thanks again,
  Anna
