Some crazy-ass jive talking nutjob (61-year old scientist, Ray
Kurzweil) is convinced we'll have the technological capabilities
and biological know-how to all be loveless immortal cyborgs within
20 years time. Uh-oh.
He says theoretically, at the rate our understanding is
increasing, nanotechnologies capable of replacing many of our vital
organs could be available in 20 years time.
Mr Kurzweil calls his theory the Law of Accelerating Returns.
Writing in The Sun, Mr Kurzweil said: "I
and many other scientists now believe that in around 20 years we
will have the means to reprogramme our bodies' stone-age software
so we can halt, then reverse, ageing. Then nanotechnology will let
us live for ever.
"If we want to go into virtual-reality mode, nanobots will shut
down brain signals and take us wherever we want to go.
Virtual sex will become commonplace. And in our
daily lives, hologram like figures will pop in our brain to explain
what is happening.
