kurzweilai.net — Ray Kurzweil sees a radical evolution of the human species in the next 40 years. The merger of man and machine, coupled with the sudden explosion in machine intelligence and rapid innovation in gene research and nanotechnology, will result in a world with no distinction between the biological and the mechanical or physical and virtual reality.

A nano-bot walking into your brain case, looking over all of the connections for a given neuron, then plucking it out and sending it to the poop deck while jumping into it's place sounds workable to me. Once you have that then interfacing to it shouldn't be too hard. Heck, why not just have the nanobots read off the whole thing and report back to a main computer to build an ISO of your brain for future reference.

Kurzweil himself admits that our rate of technological progression will even out eventually. But 25-35 years from now, we will very probably see an extraordinary rate of technological advancement. You're just that guy who thinks that the telephone is a useless invention.

We have helicopters. Chuck on some wheels, an axle and mechanism to get switch the power between the rotors and wheels and there you go.

Yah I have a signed copy here next to my desk and I emailed with him a few times. I know the entire idea back to front and your assessment is *off the wall". It's like labeling paisley a papal. Completely right wing drivel bonkers. As for the term "douchebag", by the beard of cthulhu, I have so had it with that word.
