Ray Kurzweil does a good job at arguing his point that one day technology will exceed human intelligence. He uses logos, pathos, ethos, and kairos effectively to help prove his point in a clear and understanding way. However, his work is outdated.

Sadly, the modern day doesn’t have these technology… well yet at least. What is correct to this day though
