Re: [Pre-ANN] Immortality.Digital - a full digital backup of a person
The data will be stored up to 1,000 years.?
I would think we would have achieved real immortality by then, that's if the human race or the planet is still here. also how can you say 'up to 1,000 years', you cannot say how long you will be able to store data.

And this is exactly what our project will be useful for. Say, a person dies, but 10 years later the real immortality is discovered. Wouldn't his relatives or friends want to see him back? Wouldn't the person himself want to be back? Or if the person's body was preserved through cryonics, but, as we haven't witnessed a successful reversal procedure, what if his memories or personality get changed or damaged? Wouldn't he want a way to restore his original self?
We say up to 1,000 years, because the real immortality should surely be discovered by then, but we do mean that 1,000 years as our time limit. And it is absolutely possible.
You imagination is running wild...
Human being is much more than just data and empty information...
Can't argue with that. But at the moment there is no perfect solution (real immortality), so going for the next best thing (digital immortality) is obviously better then doing nothing. Our solution will not be able to save a human completely, but we're doing the best possible option with current technologies. And when they develop something new (say, Elon Musk will complete his brain-machine interface), we will also add it to our means of data collection and make it more complete.
