THOUGHTS, experiences, emotions and memories are chemically and electrically coded information in our minds. When we save a regular file on the computer to the hard drive, it is electronically coded information.

KURTZWEIL'S CORRECT PREDICTIONS. "According to Ray Kurzweil, 89 out of 108 predictions he made were entirely correct by the end of 2009. An additional 13 were what he calls “essentially correct" (meaning that they were likely to be realized within a few years of 2009), for a total of 102 out of 108. Another 3 are partially correct, 2 look like they are about 10 years off, and 1, which was tongue in cheek anyway, was just wrong." https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Predictions_made_by_Ray_Kurzweil View in LinkedIn
