15. While the social and philosophical ramifications of
these changes will be profound, and the threats they
pose considerable, we will ultimately merge with
our machines, live indefinitely, and be a billion times
more intelligent...all within the next three to four
decades.
Kurzweil (2013)

16. It seems therefore that technology plays a paradoxical
role in sport. We embrace it as a means to
drive us towards perfection yet we resist it when it
threatens to change sport from the fair
contest of natural ability we believe it ought to be.
Emily Ryall (2012)
