    In 1999 Kurzweil said by 2009 most people will be using computers with no mechanical parts and no keyboards.

    As evidence you pointed to the 1997 Palm pilot that predates his prediction and has mechanical parts.

    Double fail.

    It’s not a prediction if it already exists. If it happened after 2009, that falls outside his own given prediction limit.

    Kurzweil made the rules that you won’t follow.

      Again, kurzweil made those predictions before 1999, but who’s counting? Not you.

      He didn’t make your rules for you, you’re just upset that he was correct so you’re trying and failing to rebut him.

      It’s hilarious that you can’t do it.

      I actually thought you’d have a much higher success rate than this, but even by your own metrics he’s still above 80% just within that one book.

        I’m referencing his list of predictions from his 1999 book.

          You think the book was conceived, written and printed the day it was published.

          Stunning.

          You’re behind on points and then I realized your years aren’t even correct.

            You think inventions are invented the day of release? No press releases? When Apple announces that their new iPhone with x features will be out in October, that’s a fantasy in your mind?

                So when Kurzweil made a prediction in 1999, how many years are you giving him to be right?

                Are you imagining that he actually wrote his 1999 book in 1964 but it took 35 years to publish?

                But I think we both know the answer. You have run out of trolling so have dropped down to simple lies.

                  You’re incorrect again.

                  I know you’re upset to be proven so wrong so quickly and then you spent so much more time without needing any headway on your claims, but the more you make things up, the more satisfying it is for me.

                  By all means, their your tantrum.

                  Doesn’t stop kurzweil from being correct and it doesn’t stop me from being right.

                  Your baseless tantrums make you look like you can’t handle the truth.

                    That reply is a complete non-sequitur.

                    Address the questions, troll.
