Death could become a thing of the past by the mid-21st century as computer technology becomes sophisticated enough for the contents of a brain to be ‘downloaded’ on to a supercomputer, according to a leading British futurologist.”
I’m not sure why the article I’m quoting uses the term downloaded. You’d have to upload the contents of your brain before they could be downloaded.
However, it is interesting to note that telecommunications giant BT has a head futurologist on staff. His name is Ian Pearson and he has some other interesting predictions. My favorite prediction – a toilet that analyzes your waste material and nags you about not eating healthy.
I think it’s healthy to have role models at any age. Ian Pearson,futurologist, is a new one of mine. What he lacks in snappy wardrobe is more than made up for by his professional commitment to thinking about the future.”
