Human Brains a thing of the Past?

One day in the near future or even now computers will be smarter than all of mankind. The technological singularity the hypothesis that the invention of artificial super intelligence will abruptly trigger runaway technological growth, resulting in unfathomable changes to human civilization. The question around this will be results of Technological Sigularity be good or bad?

 

 A futurist who has look at this is Ray Kurzweil. Kurzweil is an author, computer scientist and inventor. He has hit on many predictions regarding technological advances in the past. In 1999, he predicted…'

 

… that people would be able talk to their computer to give commands by 2009. While still in the early days in 2009, natural language interfaces like Apple’s Siri and Google Now have come a long way.

 

Maybe his most important prediction is that by the 2020s, most diseases will go away as nanobots become smarter than current medical technology.

 

The biggest prediction he and other scitists have is by the year 2045 humans will be able to store their consciousness to a cloud. That just means that a human would be able to crate a digital version of themselves. The question though of doing that is, is the human actualy storing their consciousness or are they just creating a copy of themselves. Hopefully by that time we will have the correct answer to that issue.
