Forward-thinkers believe that by 2035, memories, personality, and feelings ¬ non-physical elements that describe a human being ¬ could be scanned and uploaded into a robot, or newly-cloned human body, enabling life to continue indefinitely.

Enjoyable, certainly yes. Technology can provide us with this. Actually joyful? Well, that depends on deeper aspects of human existence which have nothing to do with technology.

i hear people say where will all the technological developments end
I think it all depends on how we use the power of technology

It has been said that economics is the dismal science..; well by any measure of past performance "futurists" are a dim lot indeed.

Not that I wish to pee on anyone's parade, but still :

I'm a realist and at the rate the world is going at the moment - i dont think that 2035 will be any better than what it is now - we are way ahead of ourselves technologically wise - all these NEW things which at the moment may seem good - we sure to find out later that is has a major impact on the world just as what we are finding out now about the NEW stuff of yesteryear, that is contributing to the destruction of earth

'uploading' or 'copying' into another body is not the same as living forever.

Consider ....
The assumption is that you go to sleep and wake up in another body. But what if the first body wakes up?

The first body would need to be killed!

It begs the eternal question "what are we?" "what makes me, me?"

Good point Steve. I believe the key to a better future is finding some better answers to "what are we?", and perhaps, even more important, to find some new interesting ways to ask this very question. Without direction technology will not bring the expected impact.

Unless we eliminate greed in the human animal, all the tech in the universe won't save us.
