Can anyone recall an intelligent, supportive introduction to the Singularity in a _non-technological_ , wide-distribution medium in the US? I am not looking for book or conference reviews, sociological analyses of Singularitarianism, and uninformed editorializing, but rather for a clear short popular mass-media explanation of the Singularity.
The idea came to me when I stumbled upon a well-informed, well-written intro to the Singularity from December 2004 in Hebrew http://www.ynet.co.il/articles/0,7340,L-3017313,00.html . This is the website of the most popular newspaper in Israel. (It's reprinted from the leading local popular science magazine.) I realized also that we almost never see reactions to the Singularity concept from a wider population. Even the skeptical responses we experience are usually from a narrower well-educated group. If there really are no such articles in English-language mass media, and if mass outreach is of value (I'm not too sure of that: what great inventors or scientists relied on mass support?), maybe there's a hole to fill here.
