Equator Live

The premise of the technological singularity is that in less than 40 years your computer will be cleverer than you are. Can you imagine what that means?

A man called Ray Kurzweil, is largely responsible for developing this concept.

If you’re a fan of TED Talks, you’ll already have heard what Raymond Kurzweil has to say. If you’re not, you need you listen to him talk. I’ve put a few links into this post.

There are two reasons for this post about Kurzweil and his ideas.

Equator’s walking team set off once again, this time conquering Ben Lomond. As Scotland’s southernmost or Glaswegian Munro (mountain over 3000ft) Ben Lomond is one of the most climbed hills in the area which makes it relatively easy and accessible with a target walking time of 5hr for its 5.5 mile trail.

In true Scottish style the day began very sunny and dry with high team spirits at the base of the Munro however the mood of the walk started to turn as the weather did. At about 700 meters up the team stopped for a quick spot of lunch to replenish energy where they then suited up for the final push to the summit which they made in an impressive 2.45 minutes. So well done to Sharon, Vickie, Kirsty and Emma as this was their first ever Munro, and of course a big well done to Brent too, Equator’s walking master!
