We'll be uploading our entire MINDS to computers by 2045 and our bodies will be replaced by machines within 90 years, Google expert claims
Ray Kurzweil, director of engineering at Google, believes we will be able to upload our entire brains to computers within the next 32 years - an event known as singularity Our 'fragile' human body parts will be replaced by machines by the turn of the century And if these predictions comes true, it could make humans immortal
In just over 30 years, humans will be able to upload their entire minds to computers and become digitally immortal - an event called singularity - according to a futurist from Google. Ray Kurzweil, director of engineering at Google, also claims that the biological parts of our body will be replaced with mechanical parts and this could happen as early as 2100. Kurweil made the claims during his conference speech at the Global Futures 2045 International Congress in New York at the weekend.

The mind can be saved on a hard drive. The soul, however, can not.
The problem with your assumption that “hell on earth is near” is that Nancy Pelosi and the rest of the democrat party have a brain to upload ........
Mine could be saved on a low density floppy disk.

good luck with that. jesus will do a far better job restoring me to an even better state than i’m in now.
LOL! True true.
I’ll never make it. Probably a blessing to both me and the rest of the world.
640K will be enough for most low information voters.
Looking forward to that great robot sex!
and they will upload the first 16 billion in .000023 seconds
BSOD will have a whole new meaning
Is that just a few years before, or just a few years after, Manhattan goes under three feet of water due to global warming?
Until it actually happens, all you have is that cute, feel-good statement and no proof.
No, to both predictions.
This comes from a materialistic view of human life. In it, humans are just deterministic machines. So is a computer. So, in the incompletely formed mind of this ‘scientist’, you can upload a human mind to a computer.
Pity.
There will still be those who have little to contribute.
Please tell me Microsoft isn’t in charge???
Why would anyone want to do that?
People say the funniest things. A memory is fairly specific, a mind is still badly defined. Downloading a memory, could be a fairly technical goal, but downloading a mind is a fantasy. I would be like predicting when we will be able to see a soul. We will have a computer sophisticated enough to determine how many angels can dance on the head of a pin. Both can be stated, but cannot be answered because souls and angels are a little bit more difficult to put in scientific terms.
Bottom line, download your mind if you like, but don’t let them destroy your body until you are REALLY SURE!!!
