"He predicts that advancement in communication will slow down in the future, to be replaced by another area, such as, for example, biotech."
Then he may understand generalized futurism, but he doesn't understand Singularity theory. They're the ones going on about brain uploading and nanotechnology, not saying we'll have nicer cell phones in the future. Predicting that the future will be the result of current trends just played out a bit larger is not a problem Singularity theory has, as the entire argument is exactly the opposite.
