Downloading The Mind We'd all like to live forever, but biology won't cooperate. So here's a modest proposal. Why don't we scan our most essential feature - our mind - digitize it, and transfer it to a computer? The result could be a kind of digital immortality. It would also release us from the limitations of our bodies, and allow us, paradoxically, to fulfill even more of our human potential, in a computer. This is the radical idea of inventor and writer Ray Kurzweil. In his book The Age of Spiritual Machines he draws a roadmap, showing how advancing computer technology and Artificial Intelligence will lead to the possibility of existence inside of a computer in just a few decades.

So far, I've looked through half a year of radio programs, and I've been able to make 3 CDs. I'm driving 45min twice a day, and so I'm finding my time is a lot more productive.
