Once they figure out how to fingerprint your consciousness with all your memories onto a hard-drive, they just transfer it to a robot body when you die. Human intelligence has a limit, the smartest scientists in the world can barely understand quantum mechanics. In order for human intelligence to improve, you have to upgrade the hardware (brain). First they use supercomputers to figure things out, then they will start putting computers in our brains (cyborgs), the final step is completely becoming a computer. But what do the robots evolve into after that?
After I watched Avatar I was tripping about this idea hard. I think it is very possible and will happen. I have a hunch the purpose of life(not ours life in general) is to reach a point of immoratlity.
some time in the future. Life ceases to have any meaning without death.
