That's the prediction of Ray Kurzweil, director of engineering at Google (GOOG), who spoke Wednesday at the Exponential Finance conference in New York.
Kurzweil predicts that humans will become hybrids in the 2030s. That means our brains will be able to connect directly to the cloud, where there will be thousands of computers, and those computers will augment our existing intelligence. He said the brain will connect via nanobots -- tiny robots made from DNA strands.
"Our thinking then will be a hybrid of biological and non-biological thinking," he said.
The bigger and more complex the cloud, the more advanced our thinking. By the time we get to the late 2030s or the early 2040s, Kurzweil believes our thinking will be predominately non-biological.
We'll also be able to fully back up our brains.
"We're going to gradually merge and enhance ourselves," he said. "In my view, that's the nature of being human -- we transcend our limitations."
Kurzweil, who is known as one the world's leading inventors, has predicted what the future will look like before. In the '90s, he made 147 predictions for 2009. In 2010, he reviewed his predictions, 86% of which were correct. He gave himself a "B" grade.
His correct predictions included that people would primarily use portable computers in 2009, that cables would disappear and that computer displays would be built into eyeglasses.

Just another indication that were in the last days.
The near death experience.
“I saw a blue light”
Imagine calling Tech Support for your body.
Dogs and cats sleeping together. MASS HYSTERIA
Imagine a virus that when coming in contact with a human, once ingested turns itself into a nanobot. Now imagine someone can control that via computer.
Zombie nation or worse, a massive suicide pact.
They want your artificial lens in your eye to be connected to the Cloud. That way they can track EVERYTHING about you. Because they love you.....(evil laugh)
Indeed!
These stories remind me of this verse:
“And in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it; and shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them”
—Revelation 9:6
It will bring a new meaning to the phrase “I got a computer virus”.
I think that Kurzweil’s DNA has already been corrupted and he has only Hell as a destiny.
Purely satanic.
I think so.
This is where zombies will come from. The body ends up dying and some leftover nanobot programming tells the remaining organs to get sustenance....
The Borg?
Bow to your Overlords, puny meatbags.
And to vote Democrat...forever.
BTW, she played a key role in Obama becoming President. Look it up.
This level of hubris and stupidity shows a lack of understanding of the true nature of life. Living beings are not organic machines. There is a non-physical component analogous to the signal received by a radio set.
