(I know this is old)
The part where is says that a computer in 2049 will be more powerful than the human species is false.

Estimates say a human brain can do 100 TFLOPS, and there are 6 billion humans in the world. The fastest computer as of now is 1 PFLOP or 1000 TFLOPS. Some estimates put a human brain at 10 PFLOPS. Are we really going to improve our to a level trillions of times faster than today?
