Computers in 2020

I recently found out that in 2020 computers will be as intelligent as humans costing only $1000, or so the theory of one man has it. According to this theory that was brought to my attention, in the year 2020 we will be able to purchase a computer with the itelligence of a human for $1000. Apparently there is an equation developed that predicts a linear movement that computer intelligence will evolve to. I don't know about you but that scares the shit out of me. Guess we shall see in 14 years.
Cheers
