What I read:

The transformation of human is something that is no longer recognizable as such to humanity circa 2013. Futurist Raymond Kurzweil believes that the world is approaching a moment when computers will become intelligent, and not just intelligent but more intelligent than humans. When that happens, humanity will be completely and irreversibly transformed, and this is not only inevitable but imminent.

What I wrote:
                It is only a matter of time until computers conquer human beings.  According to a scientist who studies the future, Raymond Kurswell, it is “not only inevitable but imminent” that computers will become more intelligent than humans (                                          ).
