No matter what problem you encounter, whether it's a grand challenge for humanity or a personal problem of your own, there's an idea out there that can overcome it. And you can find that idea.

When you talk to a human in 2035, you'll be talking to someone that's a combination of biological and non-biological intelligence.
Interpretation
In the future, human interactions will involve an integration of biological and artificial intelligence.
Ray Kurzweil's quote suggests that by 2035, the distinction between human beings and artificial intelligence will blur as technology advances. This reflects the rapid development in fields like AI and biotechnology, leading to a future where human conversations might involve entities that are part human and part machine, highlighting the inevitable fusion of technology with our daily lives.

When I was a student at MIT, we all shared one computer and it took up a whole building. The computer in your cell phone today is a million times cheaper and a thousand times more powerful. What now fits in your pocket 25 years from now will fit into a blood cell and will again be millions of times more cost effective.
A successful person isn't necessarily better than her less successful peers at solving problems; her pattern-recognition facilities have just learned what problems are worth solving.
Mobile phones are misnamed. They should be called gateways to human knowledge.
I'm working on artificial intelligence. Actually, natural language understanding, which is to get computers to understand the meaning of documents.
So what used to fit in a building now fits in your pocket, what fits in your pocket now will fit inside a blood cell in 25 years.
Man is still the most extraordinary computer of all.
Young people do not watch television; they are on the Internet.
I just believed. I believed that the technology would change people's lives. I believed putting real identity online - putting technology behind real identity - was the missing link.
We did envision that some day the phone would be so small that you could hang it on your ear or even have it embedded under your skin.
When the Internet publicity began, I remember being struck by how much the world was not the way we thought it was, that there was infinite variation in how people viewed the world.
The space shuttle was often used as an example of why you shouldn't even attempt to make something reusable. But one failed experiment does not invalidate the greater goal. If that was the case, we'd never have had the light bulb.
