"Singularity" is an odd word. Originally it meant peculiarity. Then 20th-century physicists got hold of it and situated it at the very boundary of space-time, to the eternal bafflement of the lay mind. A singularity became the inexplicable, infinitely charged nothing out of which the universe grew following the Big Bang.
A new "singularity" now looms — the moment, fast approaching, when our machines surpass us in intelligence. Conservative futurists — an oxymoron if ever there was one — see it coming around 2045. Others say 2030. What's on the other side? Nobody knows. Good things in abundance, seems the majority view.
"Abundance," in fact, is the name of a global movement promoting an "Internet of Things" — ultimately an "Internet of Everything" — to follow hard upon the "singularity." Everything you own — phones, clothing, refrigerators, TVs — connected to the Internet, the better to serve you, meet your needs, satisfy your whims!
