Life, inventions, and awards
Kurzweil grew up in Queens, New York. In his youth, he was an avid consumer of science fiction literature. By the age of 12 he had programmed his first computer. Shortly after his discovery of programming, he appeared on the CBS television program I've Got a Secret, where he performed a piano piece that was composed by a computer he had built. In 1968 he sold a company he created that matched high schoolers with prospective colleges by answering a 200 question survey. He earned a B.Sc in Computer Science and Literature in 1970 from MIT.
