How to live forever in the "mobile phone"?

The mobile phone is the ultimate tool of human civilization, and we will live forever in the "mobile phone". There are two forms of this immortality:

One is that the mobile phone enters the human body, and each person's body is a mobile mobile phone that communicates with his own brain and thinking.

The second is to copy people's thinking in software, and strip them from their bodies and put them into a machine to become an immortal mobile phone man: the time is 2045.

In the early 21s, Martin Cooper, the inventor of the mobile phone, was very optimistic that before 2020, the mobile phone would be a device under the skin.

In fact, at the beginning of the 21st century, Professor Wang Zhonglin from the Georgia Institute of Technology in the United States has already proposed the possibility of nano-generators. Around 2050, using the human body to generate electricity will become a reality, and mobile phones will have an opportunity to be implanted in the human body.The mobile phone will eventually become a part of the human body, become one of the most important senses of human beings, and become one with the human body.

brain liberation

The American technology website LiveScience wrote that in the near future, users can command smartphones to publish applications, send emails or adjust the volume as long as they use their thoughts.Samsung is currently experimenting with how the brain interacts with a tablet using a head-mounted EEG sensor. [53]
One day in late June 2013, scientists from Harvard and MIT, engineers from technology giants such as Google, top technologists and futurists, and some robots gathered at Lincoln Center in New York.What they want to discuss is how to liberate human beings from the bondage of the body.First of all, determine how to transplant the brain and consciousness from the body so that it can survive in the machine double, and finally determine how to upload thoughts and consciousness to the computer.

Not only this group of scientific madmen, governments of various countries have also begun to extend their "hands" into human brains. In early 2013, the European Union approved a 10 billion euro (about 13 billion U.S. dollars) 10-year human brain project, the purpose of which is to simulate the human brain on a supercomputer.U.S. President Barack Obama also announced a $54 million investment plan to fund the Human Brain Activity Mapping project to map the complex network of nerve cells and groups of nerve cells in the human brain.

Brain in the Cloud: A Billionaire's Dream of Immortality[55]
The 32-year-old Dmitry Itskov is one of the initiators of the "2045 Future World Conference". In order to realize the dream of "immortality" in the brain, the Russian rich man launched the "2045" plan.This plan is divided into four phases: first, a human robot replica is remotely controlled through brain-computer interface technology; in the second phase, the brain is transplanted after a person's life is terminated; then, an "artificial brain" is developed, which It can store all the personality, memory and experience of a person. After a person dies, the robot avatar with an "artificial brain" will continue the individual's life.Finally, create a virtual person, which has human thinking, consciousness and emotions, but without a holographic image of a physical body, and will theoretically become an "immortal person".

Coincidentally, the year of immortality planned by Itskov also happens to be the year of the "singularity" predicted by futurist Ray Kurzweil. "By 2045, humans will reach the technological singularity and gain immortality." The chief engineer of Google explained that the so-called "singularity" is the moment when human intelligence and computer intelligence merge.Kurzweil said that in the same way that we tap the screen to look up information on our smartphones, the future brain will be able to access information collected in the cloud.For example, "downloading" the helicopter pilot manual into the brain as in "The Matrix", "technology will essentially extend the neocortex of the brain infinitely."

What's more, it won't just be the privilege of the rich.The development of mobile phones is a good proof of this point: the price of mobile phones has been reduced by more than half in 10 years, and only the rich had mobile phones at the earliest, and the functions of mobile phones were extremely limited at that time."Only the rich have the money to use immature technology," Kurzweil said with a slight sarcasm.

In Itskoff's discussion of immortality -- he's talking about digital immortality, where the brain either lives in a robotic double or is uploaded to a computer chip.

A mobile person is a mobile phone: when a person is born in the future, a "mobile phone" will be put in his mind.Thoughts and thoughts control the world, and the flowers bloom with a flash of thought, and the world is destroyed with a flash of thought.The highest state of the future - think and do it.Because the flow of thought is directly commanded through the mobile phone, without making any changes.A mobile person may have the function of a mobile phone. This view of the integration of man and machine is acceptable and understandable, but can you imagine the future: is a mobile "mobile phone" a person?

Experiments in progress

USC bioengineer and neuroscientist Theodore Berger and his team have successfully replaced the hippocampus—the neural structure in the brain responsible for memory formation—with a chip in the brains of mice.It turns out that transplanted mice can have memory without the protist component.

In 2012, Israeli student Tirosh Shapira used a functional magnetic resonance imaging scanner (FMRI) in Israel to successfully control a robot at the Beziers Institute of Technology in France using his brain consciousness.Not only can the robot turn forward or backward, but it can also place a teapot at a specific location in the room.

When I told the musician Xiao Ke about these ongoing experiments, his comment was: "Scientists are crazier than artists!" In any case, in this era, mobile phones will be the latest angle for us to examine our future. are you ready?
