computer technology is subject to moores law, which states that every 18 months technology will double itself, that is what is the most powerful chip now will in 18 months be replaced by something twice as powerful. one could surmise as many futurists have that with technology exponentially becoming more and more powerful that at some point the so called 'singulatity' point will be reached. this in technology terms means that technology will become self conscious although some say we have reached that point because now 3d printers are printing 3d printers.
i don't regard this as singularity, i think singularity occurs when all human processes, including constructs are aligned. at the moment this is science fiction, but we are getting closer. more and more (pardon the pun) people are realising certain constraints within culture, within technology, even art. belief is a key component, and mostly in practical terms holds us back. this is because we are trapped in it's limits, we are limited in terms of left or right and other polarities, to the point we can't see a good decision from a bad one, we can't tell right from wrong, we can't know anything unless we accept everything constructed is just an idea including this, and if we believe in wise ideas we can achieve a better society. wisdom does not mean running around in the forest, it means that we can stop pretending that everything needs controlling and that most people can act reasonably well without interference from beliefs. crowley nailed this believe it or not, in his understanding of true will. if individuals are left to discover their purpose and love, as long as it interferes with no one else's true will then that is what they should be doing. 
this would mean abandoning political ideology, history, religion and creating a personal relationship with whatever you love doing. ideally this would be artistic or at least creative or service orientated and these would be high paying roles, valued and considered integral to the fulfilment of mankind.
once this is realised technology can be used to feed, heal, construct and educate, there will be no need for menial jobs, a 3d printer could construct a factory, home, university, nano technology can fix a broken bone, outer space can be explored by unmanned vessels, while inner space can be explored freely and safely as well. 
this is the singularity, love rules everything, because there are no agendas, no secrets, no fear, no enemy. however to get to this point requires the world to wake up, there are threats out there that will stop at nothing to take humanity back towards the stone age, to keep us in chains, to control the feminine. these must be challenged in order for us to move forwards. it's not about left or right anymore, it's about letting go of patterns that entrap us.
