The concept of the coming technological singularity is going to enter mainstream discourse, and won't go away. It will stop being something that can be dismissed as freaky or outlandish - something that is of interest only to marginal types and radical thinkers. Instead, it's going to become something that every serious discussion of the future is going to have to contemplate. Writing a long-term business plan - or a long-term political agenda - without covering the singularity as one of the key topics, is increasingly going to become a sign of incompetence. We can imagine the responses, just a few years from now: "Your plan lacks a section on how the onset of the singularity is going to affect the take-up of your product. So I can't take this proposal seriously". And: "You've analysed five trends that will impact the future of our company, but you haven't included the singularity - so everything else you say is suspect."
