Interesting Article On Immortality Through Technology was just brought to my attention by one of my fellow VRML world modelers I sometimes chat with in 3D.

Quote: "Telegraph has published a very interesting science article that states that we may be able to be immortal in 20 years in the future. This will be possible through the use of nanotechnology to replace organs with tech, so you become some kind of cyborg."

Well, this may be only available for millionaires. Most people will continue dying of flu, I think.

Soon these nanoborgs will not be human at all, then they will rebel, it'll be like the Matrix in real life! Just you wait!

Or like Total Annihilation, where mankind goes to war over being turned into machines or staying Human.

Immortal Super Humans? Fantastic! Now you can work for that company you hate for the rest of eternity. Or you know, the end of our Sun's lifetime.

We'd best look into colonizing other planets too, otherwise the Earth will become overcrowded.

And then solar systems, because the sun will go sometime.

Immortality in Humans... No. Just, no.
If you live forever, you'll get bored quickly.

Oh, and they'll replace the penis with what ? A usb cable and plug ? lol

I guess for boredom they'll make a "reset" button, to start learning things again.

yeahhhh Way to overpopulate our world even more.
and what impact is that going to have on our dna?
This definitely causes evolution to come to a grinding halt.
WONDERFUL!

Has anybody here seen the "Battlestar Galactica: The Plan" movie?

You just never know what could really happen......

I wouldn't worry so much about overpopulating the world. Nature has a way of cutting down the numbers of a species when they get too large. Our science will protect us for only so long.

"This definitely causes evolution to come to a grinding halt."
I think they figure that they replace the evolution of humans with the evolution of technology.
