UPLOADING YOUR MIND. "We'll be uploading our entire minds to computers by 2045 and our bodies will be replaced by machines within 90 years. 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," leading to human immortality. http://lnkd.in/dAM2VhW years.html#ixzz2j7F52oht View in LinkedIn

The economy doubled every 250,000 years from the Paleolithic era until the Neolithic. The new agricultural economy doubled every 900 years... beginning with the Industrial Revolution, economic output doubled every fifteen years... If the rise of superhuman intelligence causes a similar revolution... one would expect the economy to double at least quarterly."" " http://lnkd.in/d-_rf2q View in LinkedIn

ENHANCED INTELLIGENCE. "Whether or not an intelligence explosion occurs depends on three factors. The first, accelerating factor, is the new intelligence enhancements made possible by each previous improvement... Further advances will become more and more complicated... Each improvement must be able to beget at least one more improvement... Finally, there is the issue of a hard upper limit. Absent quantum computing, eventually the laws of physics will prevent any further improvements."" " http://lnkd.in/d-_rf2q View in LinkedIn
