The Pakistani Spectator

Nick Bostrom Director, Future of Humanity Institute, Oxford University, said that humanity faces couple of great problems, and one of them is “Death” !! and we human must do something in order to avoid death and frankly, he is quite sure that we can achieve this goal. There is another “nut” Aubrey De Grey, who claimed that He knows how to live for “1000″ years. Sounds too since fiction ? isn’t ? Well friends, its possible.

When it comes to Death, we have very strange beliefs, everybody has to die, or the night you will be in your grave will come surely bla bla bla.. its the reality, but the main point in which we don’t usually ponder is that nobody knows when will this night come ? and that is a GOOD news.

Why we are alive, and how we know this ? its the awareness of mind to grasp the reality around us. Our brain is just like a computer working and calculating millions and billions of signals every single second, and result of this self awareness which tells you that you are alive. What if we replace this Biological Brain with a Digital Brain ? will this thing work ? Yes, 100% and my friends good news is that people are already working for you. All you have to do is to wait and not die, for couple of decades before this “digital water of life” will available to you.

Here is a piece of future information for you now, read it and enjoy and don’t forget to think..

The Web as Virtual Reality Arena

The nanobots will do more than scan the brain. They will also extend it. One vital application will be full-immersion virtual reality–a VR induced by the interaction of nanobots with the brain. We already have electronic devices that can detect and even control the firing of neurons–essentially creating two-way communication between electronic and neural circuits (such as the “neuron transistors” demonstrated at Germany’s Max-Planck Institute for Biochemistry. Scientists have also demonstrated that biological and nonbiological neurons can work together on pattern recognition tasks just like an all-biological network.

When we want to experience real reality, the nanobots do nothing. If we want to enter virtual reality, they suppress all of the inputs coming from the real senses, and replace them with signals appropriate for the virtual environment. Your brain would then send signals intended to cause your muscles and limbs to move as you normally would, but the nanobots again intercept these interneuronal signals, suppress your real limbs from moving, and instead cause your virtual limbs to “move” while providing the appropriate movement and reorientation (as well as sounds and tactile sensations) in the virtual environment.

The Web will provide a panoply of virtual environments to explore, and “going” to these Web environments will not require any equipment not already in our heads. Some will be recreations of earthly places; others will be fanciful environments that have no “real” counterpart. Some would be virtual worlds that seem to violate laws of physics. Want to fly? Walk on walls like a spider? You can, in this virtual world. We’ll be able to visit these virtual Web environments alone, or we’ll meet others there, people both real and simulated. Ultimately, there won’t be a clear distinction between the two.

Nanobot technology will expand our minds in virtually any way imaginable. Our brains today are relatively fixed in design. Although we do add patterns of interneuronal connections and neurotransmitter concentrations as a normal part of the learning process, the overall capacity of the human brain is highly constrained (to a mere hundred trillion connections). Brain implants based on massively distributed intelligent nanobots will ultimately expand our memories a trillionfold, and vastly improve all of our sensory, pattern recognition and cognitive abilities.

Of course, there will be great concern regarding who’s controlling the nanobots, and over who the nanobots may be talking to. Organizations such as governments or extremist groups or just clever individuals could put trillions of undetectable nanobots in the water or food supply. These “spy” nanobots could then monitor, influence, and even control our thoughts and actions. We won’t be defenseless, however. Just as we have virus scanning software today, we will make use of patrol nanobots that search for (and destroy) unauthorized nanobots in our brains and bodies.”
