Ray Kurzweil On IT And The Future of Technology
Roland Piquepaille writes "In this interview with CIO Magazine, Ray Kurzweil says that one day, software and computers will reside inside us. He adds that by 2020, "we will be placing millions or billions of nanobots -- blood cell-size devices -- inside our bloodstream to travel into our brains and interact with our neurons." He also says that if we're not enhanced by machines, they will surpass us. But he doesn't think it will happen. According to him, machines and humans will merge. In the mean time, he's pursuing his anti-aging quest and takes about 250 supplements to his diet every day! With this regime, he says his biological age is 40 while he's 56 years old. By 2030, there will be very little difference between 30-year-old and 120-year-old people, says Kurzweil. He's certainly a bright person, but I'm not sure that I agree with someone taking daily such an amount of pills. What do you think? This summary contains some selected -- and biased -- excerpts to help you forge your opinion."
Anyone who has not read his Age of Spiritual Machines is a noob. Its just incredible reading, specially for anyone who is remotely interested in technology.
And being the nerd that he is he's figured out a way to do it that doesn't require anyone to get any pussy.
Chrichton is a dumbass. If you enjoy reading moronic sci-fear he is just the guy you want. But dont confuse his ideas with reality.
And one more fucking thing, you stupid fuck. read the DEFINITION OF PATHETIC:
Arousing or capable of arousing sympathetic sadness and compassion: "The old, rather shabby room struck her as extraordinarily pathetic" (John Galsworthy).
...we would, in effect, be emulating god.
God is in the self.
I belong to the ______ generation.
A French woman named Jeanne Calment lived to the ripe old age of 122. Her secret to longevity - statistics, probability theory, being lucky, not dying by the age of 120, blind chance, etc. Basically, living boring ordinary life and hoping that through random chance she will be the outlier. Unlike this anal-retentive pill-pushing twat that actually does something to live longer. What good is living forever when you're an intelligent superhuman when you could have been an average retarded grandma that died at 70 (remember, only 1 out of 100 million retarded grandmas has to live until 120)?
