Humans will become immortal (at least until an accident takes them) but as biological creatures..not as machines.

Nanotechnology will allow for endless repair/replacement/alteration of the human body but IMO the human mind will never be able to be stored on some device.

In the near future nearly everything will disposable. Very few people will need to work. People will live for an awfully long time.

I wonder how different the world will be when everyone can look however they wish, live as long as they desire, procure nearly any item they want and have enormous amounts of leisure time.

LIBs/DIMs/RINOs would maybe fill one MB...all of them in total.

It will look like Hell. People suffering from the conceit that they are immortal will think themselves gods. Petty gods lose their moral bearings and always become corrupted by their power. There's just no way this ends well.

I don’t remember if it was Cracked.com or io9 that brought up the ethics of life extension. If you double life expectancy, how do you prevent massive depopulation?
In “The Declaration”, you can choose to have children or immortality, but not both.
