yep, 9-11. Biggest event of our lifetime, and I doubt anything will top it for a globally newsworthy event for decades.
People hoping for a "cure for cancer" do not understand the nature of the affliction. Each type of cancer is completely different as to be seen and approached as a wholly different disease. Eventually they will all be cured though through gene doping, stem cells, or nanotech - it is inevitable. But it'll happen in slow increments so itll never be one big worldchanging event.
For our children and grandchildren - they will witness the singularity and true AI that operates on its own motives and impulse, perhaps to our detriment.
