Phil and Stephen discussed these and other possible futures -- some of which may be happening right now.

If Ray's talk at the H+ Summit is on Sunday, he can pull off two live appearances. If both talks are on Saturday, one of the Kurzweil's will be a digitally transmitted version.
Meanwhile, as sally notes in the comments, we all have the opportunity to virtually attend the H+ Summit. Don't miss it!
