If you think about it, wouldn't this nanotechnology have to keep the parts of our bodies (that make us human) from eventually decaying if we wanted to me immortal? We could be all machine, yes, but in order to have any "human" in us, we would still have to have a consciousness, which cannot be replicated by electronics, no? Unless they know 100% of what the brain can do and mimic that with this technology.
I'm thinking too much into this... ha |

Immortality in 20 years...haha.
That has got to be one of the most nonsensical statements of the 21st century. We still haven't got a cure for cancer, or aids, and this guy is coming up with immortality? |

This is the dumbest thing i've ever heard...20 years?
I think the concept of immortality and time travel is science fiction...and will never happen All these theories of worm holes and folding the fabric of time and space, are just "fun" ideas with no data to support... This is what i think humans are capable of Landing humans on Mars and possibly colonizing the planet. We will not survive the trip to Jupiter or farther, and we'll never reach the nearest star with a probe, let alone a human...

i dont care about immorality as long as the nanotechnology enhances our organs such as our lungs so that we are capable of living in places that does not require oxygen like underwater or space

let's say it's 1790. nobody has the slightest idea of what a telephone is. do you think they could have thought that at one point we could talk to people across the earth, in realtime, and hear the sound of their voice? not to mention, doing it from practically anywhere you want, (cellphone), or receiving a practically infinite amount of information at the touch of your fingertips? (smartphone, mobile internet) no... they couldn't even imagine a lightbulb. we're just going to keep getting cooler.  (hopefully)imagine what space travel can be like... maybe it will be as cool as in Halo... (minus evil aliens)(...hopefully) as for population control...we'd have to do birth control. like you're allowed one kid, and then when new space is made (new planet), your allowed another... something like that.

-1 on the brain... yeah, we don't use all of it, and it is extremely powerful... but thinking that a computer will never beat the brain (even at 100%)? look how fast technology moves, like 25 years ago, 1 mb of data in a hardrive would be great. now you get terabytes easy. but I doubt 0s and 1s can move things around (if we're ever able to do that)

This sounds exactly like how Metal Gear Solid gets started. Fox Die anyone? Sons of the Patriots?
