We'll be uploading our entire MINDS to computers by 2045

We'll be uploading our entire MINDS to computers by 2045 and our bodies will be replaced by machines within 90 years, Google expert claims
In just over 30 years, humans will be able to upload their entire minds to computers and become digitally immortal - an event called singularity - according to a futurist from Google.
Ray Kurzweil, director of engineering at Google, also claims that the biological parts of our body will be replaced with mechanical parts and this could happen as early as 2100.
Kurweil made the claims during his conference speech at the Global Futures 2045 International Congress in New York at the weekend.
The conference was created by Russian multimillionaire Dmitry Itskov and featured visonary talks about how the world will look by 2045.
Kurzweil said: 'Based on conservative estimates of the amount of computation you need to functionally simulate a human brain, we'll be able to expand the scope of our intelligence a billion-fold.'
He referred to Moore's Law that states the power of computing doubles, on average, every two years quoting the developments from genetic sequencing and 3D printing.
In Kurweil's book, The Singularity Is Near, he plots this development and journey towards singularity in a graph.
This singularity is also referred to as digital immortality because brains and a person's intelligence will be digitally stored forever, even after they die.
Kurweil was invited to the conference because he has previously written books around the idea of singularity.
Expanding on this idea Martine Rothblatt, CEO of biotech company United Therapeutics introduced the idea of 'mindclones'.
These are digital versions of humans that can live forever and can create 'mindfiles' that are a place to store aspects of our personalities.
She said it would run on a kind of software for consciousness and told The Huffington Post: 'The first company that develops mindware will have [as much success as] a thousand Googles.'
Rothblatt added that the presence of mindware could lead to replacing other parts of the body with 'non-biological' parts.

Ok if this article does not scare the shit out of you, then I don't know what will. The implication of who or what will control this digital singularity...that's immortal. Future will contain something out of the new Superman Movie where the government controls birth rates, and what type of genes each controlled "birth" will have. Could you imagine the tyrants controlling this system?

On the upside you won't have to figure out what a woman wants anymore. You can download her mind to flash drive.

This reminds me of a clip from the movie Get Him to the Greek. It has a little profanity, so it's not safe for work:
hxxp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s3aIkb0kbGE
The clip is only 1:37. Right around 1:00 is the best part.
