    Google believes we will be able to upload our minds to computers within 32 years

    Well, not really Google but Google Chief Engineer Ray Kurzweil.

    Our blog writer wrote an interesting article about Ray's prediction. Because it's an article for our blog, it references our company but I still thought it was a fascinating read. Here's a snippet...

    During the Global Futures 2045 International Congress, held in New York City last week, Kurzweil who has become known for some astoundingly accurate predictions about the future of technology years before they each came to fruition, stated emphatically that he believes humanity will be able to upload our minds to computers within the next 32 years and that within the next 90 years our bodies will be largely replaced or augmented by machines.
    Are we really that close to being machines?

        Yup...not sure why my search didn't see that.

        Oh well - crazy stuff either way!

          Edit: Fuck Google, they won't even exist in 32 years!!

              Average human brain is going to take 1 Billion TB to digitize. Maybe add another 0 to that 32.

              I'm actually a futurist but Ray is way to optimistic, maybe because he's so old and knows he won't make it to biological immortality.

                  Why wouldn't we be able to do this eventually? Our thoughts are just electronic pulses in our brains. It's just a mater of time before we can digitalize them and save them in some sort of storage device.

                  That doesn't mean you will become immortal but your thoughts might be.

                  Now if they can figure out how to digitalize your brain to the point it can be aware and usable in a new body, then we have some interesting times ahead.

                  Think of space travel as being just your thoughts being beemed across space and downloaded into a new body..

                  Outside of sending the first settlers to build and develop a new habitat you could then populate a new world as fast as you could create new bodies even duplicating the most skilled/ smartest.

                    He has been right too many times in the past about seemingly outlandish claims to be ignored.
                    The NSA is accumulating yottobytes of data, Google has a seemingly functional quantum computer, we mapped the human genome... All just building blocks, but I'm sure his singularity will happen eventually. 32 years is probably a bit too optimistic... Sucks for anyone who dies a few days before its available ;)

                        No reason to think average people would be saved by something like this. It would be reserved for the smartest, most talented and the richest humans.

                        They would simply weed out the unneeded or just use them as a worker class. Our planet could never sustain immortal humans on a large scale because it can barely handle what we have now.

                        We would end up with a digitally dumbed down worker/ slave class.

                          Remote hackers 0wning your home computer takes on a whole new meaning when it has a copy of your brain on it.

                          Job applications will require a brain scan to verify that you're not homosexual or a foot lover.

                          NSA creams their pants at the level of "metadata" they can now capture.

                          Now you can peek at your girlfriend's brain (password protected: "coffee") and see if she was lying about not fucking that guy the other week.

                            The only hope for anyone here doing that is if the make friends with some rich billionaire who decides they want to save their buddy from death. For the average Joe this is a hundred years or more away.

                                Actually the planet can hold 10x or more the humans it has now but corps don't want to push tech like solar power that will make energy purchases obsolete or lab made foods that will make meat cheap and put farmers out of business.

                                The tech is there to support massive amounts of people and many people on this planet live packed like sardines in big cities and are pretty happy about it.

                                  It is funny though, if you start to type in biological into google the first word that comes after it is immortality.

                                  Think of it, this is what mankind has wanted since we first became self aware. How do I avoid dieing. This is why religions have been so successful.

                                    I sometimes post discussions about stuff like this on my FB page.
                                    https://www.facebook.com/EndTheDisea...67981456587624

                                    It's a page I use to get people to join my world community grid team but it works better if I focus on helping people who are fighting whatever disease they are dealing with.

                                    Everyone wants to live as long as they can, there is probably big money in that.

                                        All I want to know is, will this somehow enable me to have virtual sex with the Laker Girls?

                                          I think by this time sex won't be needed as procreation will be looked down on. We probably won't even have sex organs once we have robotic bodies.

                                                        Although I have no doubt that Kurzweil is a brilliant man there has to be many at Google that role their eyes when he comes up with this stuff.

                                                        Sure they are future possibilities but his numbers seem way too optimistic. I've seen scientists that are at the top of fields like genetics and A.I say he is off by 50 years or more.

Ray is a total genius, and he has, (as you rightly pointed out), been VERY visionary and accurate in predicting things that no one was even THINKING about at the time. I'm not sure that I understand why this is coming up now. He was talking about this years ago.
