Sonic the Hedgehog protein?

Well Id rather live 200 more years than die and get replaced by a "robot" that just has a digital copy of my brain.

I have no advantage whatsoever of someone else pretending to be me. (in this specific case that is)



Btw I have a question for all of you because  well science and stuff.

Lets say I am 50 years old  my life expectation is exactly 100 years so i have 50 years to go.

What would happen I remove every part of my body that can be removed (organs, legs, arms, blood) and replace them with their equivalent of a lets say 15 year old person.

Will my whole body somehow do a "Benjamin Button" at least partially? And get younger? I mean I just age because my DNA fucks up a little bit everytime my cells divide. (and thanks to oxygen). Can new limbs and organs somehow help original stuff that was not replaced to get "fresh dna/material" to become at least partially younger?  

What if you can keep your brain in the robot for 200 more years ?

What if you can control the robot remotely while you live for 200 more years while not being affraid to die of an accident ?

And why do you think you are more than your brain, and that technology will never be able to copy paste that something ?

A-Life is a technical word already in use for something that already existed for years.
OT I want to become a digital being. That sounds fun. Feeding on knowledge with no other needs.

I get what your saying to live as long as you want in a life like humanoid robot would be quite interesting with all the knowledge of the interent, but the moment that you copy your brain how does it work that your mind is now in two places at once, sure you now have an exact copy of yourself but from now on what the robot experiences will be difference to what you experience, the longer this goes on the more different you both become. Now let's say your about to die from some horrible disease and your copy of yourself is in the robot, when you die how is your conscious going to jump to the robot? Wouldn't you just cease to exist and now this copy of yourself will continue to be you and act like you and really is you from other peoples perspective but really the original conscious is dead and gone.

The only way I can figure it to work is that you have to die first and then have your brain and conscious immediately transfer to the robot. 

I'm mind fucking myself here.

Search for the human immortality by nanotechnology,great topic!

Except if you backup your "mind" in real time, you would come back as a digital being/analog interface from  the last backup, like 3 days ago. It would feel exactly like a memory loss of 3 days, where you wake up thinking "wtf have i done yesterday ?".

For the first part of your post about two intances of you living at the same time it's pretty much ethics and of course, it should be controlled by laws. Your backup shouldn't be conscious at the same time as you are.

Now, imagine your computer hardware dies of an horrible disease and you backup your HDD to an hardware with the exact same capabilities. I've done this with my latest computer as i could have the same model for cheap. When I turned the power on, i was suprised to have exactly the same wallpaper, to still log automatically on VGC, and not having to download endless updates on my online games. It felt exactly the same and if i didn't do it myself, i wouldn't have been conscious it was "different".

I don't think waking up in a different hardware would be any different from sleeping or having a coma, or even having an car accident, loosing a leg and waking up with a prothesis. OFC it's a kind of traumathic experience and you have to get used to your new hardware.

Wheter or not an exact copy is different is an extremely good question, but aren't we different from yesterday already ? 

EV sedan with Tesla-like range is coming in 2017

An all-electric car is in the works at Audi that will rival Tesla's Model S. The car will borrow technology from Audi's made-to-order R8 e-tron, and Audi says it's shooting for a range of 450 kilometers (280 miles), or, roughly in line with the class-leading Model S.

"Such a car is under development," Audi CTO Ulrich Hackenberg tells Auto Express. "It is under development and will be in the market for around 2017 but it will not be a sports car." Audi recently started selling a plug-in hybrid in the form of the A3 e-tron, and has plans to bring the tech to other cars in its range. Will the company's first true consumer EV will be a modified version of an existing car or an all-new model? Audi is remaining coy for now, but expect to hear a lot more about the EV before it launches in 2017.

Audi makes good cars, but they aren't lightweight.

If they really go for an autonomy of 450 Km, then it will be a new model or a very modified A2 or A3.

Meet the world's first smartphone with two 1080p displays

Gionee is a Chinese handset maker known in the Western world for releasing two smartphones that were, at the time of their launch, the thinnest on the market: the Elife S5.5 and the Elife E5.1. Now, Gionee is getting ready to introduce another interesting smartphone: the world's first to sport two 1080p displays.

Called Gionee W900, the smartphone is a clamshell designed to resemble Samsung’s Android flip phones - which seem to be very popular in China. Its internal and external displays both measure 4 inches and offer 1080 x 1920 pixel resolutions (with a pretty crazy 550 ppi density). 

The W900 runs Android 4.4 KitKat, weighs 172 grams, and is 14.8mm thick when closed. It’s powered by a quad-core 1.5 GHz processor of unknown provenience, while other features include: LTE, a 13 MP rear camera, 5 MP front-facing camera, 2 GB of RAM, 16 GB of expandable storage space, and a 2050 mAh battery.

At the moment, there’s no word on when and for how much the Gionee W900 will be released. In any case, it will probably be available only in China, where it's been already certified by authorities. Would you buy such a smartphone if you had the chance?

More images here it's like a flip phone lol
