Your brain will be hooked to a computer and on the internet...the question is how long will your brain go?

What kind of psychological help will you need once you are dead?

What will you kmow about death if your brain is still alive?

Thats a bit fuckin scary.

Wow.....

Interesting.. if that works it's cool.

I think if you're able to keep the brain alive after the body dies, the person/brain wouldn't know anything more about death than we do. It would just know that it doesn't have a body (essentially a quadraplegic).

I wonder if you wour brain would sense the out of body experience though?

It ain't real, you gullible fools.

Edit: at least, not yet. A few hundred years and we'll probably have such technology.

Thing is though, a human has a lifetime period of lets say, 120 years max? Like Marty said how long could the brains itself last?

You are not your brain, anymore than you are your car or your favorite jacket, so it will not be extending your life.

It is very interesting from a neural computing point of view however when we can directly interact with a computer and to be able to control it just by thinking. That technology is here and shows great promise for quadraplegics and indeed for everyone.
