At the summit, famous futurist Raymond Kurzweil, in his speech said that in 2045 should come "point singularity", which means an explosive growth of knowledge and technology, that even narrow specialists in various fields will not be able to keep pace with them to acquire the necessary knowledge. Raymond Kurzweil sees a way out to replace the biological body on artificial technology, created on the basis of quantum computing. Also spoke at the Summit and the representative of Russia Dmitry Itskov with presentation "Project" Immortality in 2045. Russian experience", but that has not attracted much attention because of the lack of any new ideas or new methods, recipes for Humanity to help person to cope with the growth of knowledge and technology. In general, the presentations by the Summit participants to clearly reduces the technological scenario of development of mankind, in their view, the replacement of biological body on artificial technology. In such a stereotyped thinking its members' summit singularity are similar to those of the 19th century scientists, which believed, that in the late 20th century, all the streets are littered with manure, because of the large number of horses, caused by rapid population growth. However, the car was invented and horses in the late 20th century have completely disappeared from the cities. Thus, it is very likely, that there will be a new invention in the field of information, rather than computing communications, which will allow people to better filter incoming information and to avoid unnecessary information, and will not overwhelm the human brain with unnecessary data, such as before the invention of the car is not allowed to fill up the streets of the manure.
