James Tagg, author of the book ‘Are the Androids Dreaming Yet?’ presented in front of an audience his own beliefs on the Singularity issue.

She wants students to go beyond curriculum and the path set in front of them, believing that we cannot teach students to be curious but we can put opportunities to be curious in front of them to facilitate their curiosity and creativity.
