Biografia e Jornada do Autor
Ray Kurzweil was born in Queens, New York, in 1948 and grew up in a household that encouraged both scientific curiosity and music. As a teenager, he drew attention for a computer program that analyzed classical styles and generated original compositions, winning major science-fair recognition in 1965. He graduated from MIT in 1970 with a degree in computer science and literature, and his early entrepreneurial success came from software that helped students choose colleges. A decisive turning point followed when he began building a reading machine for blind users, linking pattern recognition to a practical human need.
