A Float Plan is a document that can be filled in before a person is heading out on their boat for leisure, fishing etc.

It provides details on the reason of going on a boat, the route plan, estimated time of departure and arrival back to the port etc.

In case of an emergency, e.g. if a storm, a distress signal it sent or simply the boat does not arrive for hours, the Coast Guard will have a head start into figuring out the path of the boat and where to carry out the rescue mission.


These are especially helpful for old smaller boats which do not have latest SatNav technologies are more prone to the dangers of the sea.

Nezavi [6.7K]

Answer:

Futurist Ray Kurzweil defined The "singularity" as the moment when artificial intelligence achieves enough awareness and self-improvement that it starts to outstrip humanity, and humans may even be able to live forever via massive computer storage of thoughts and personalities.

Explanation:

The "singularity" concept of Ray Kurzweil is a concept that develops a theory in "The singularity is near" a non-fiction book he wrote to describe his ideas on the topic. It is a summary of all his previous works with the addition of the "singularity" concept adopted from Vernor Vinge.

Kurzweil develops his theory believing that humans will find a way to take a big jump of innovation and development in which the creation of self-improving technology will be able to overcome human thinking and both will merge themselves to achieve what he believes is the ultimate state of humankind. Then they will expand over the universe until they reached everything and unify again into a massive net. And finally that the final stage of technological evolution is to reach a spiritual state.
