Think back to what kind of technology we had in 1609, and then imagine that same level of advancement on top of what we have now. I envisage a world where nano technology reigns supreme. Self-cleaning clothes, self-powered, battery-free devices and tiny artificial organisms living in our blood and taking up the fight where our own body fails. Our physical bodies will last for huge amounts of time as a result. Quantum computers, matrix-style virtual reality (they already have video game controllers that work by sitting on your temples and 'reading' your thoughts). In the future, we will have a global network which will be to current day internet what the internet has been to telephones. It will be far more accessible, more useful and more widespread. I firmly believe that most technology will become thought-based and that we will mostly do away with physical buttons and controls. Just by thinking 'what is the capital of Congo?', this 'new internet' will call it up for us, and the sum total of humanity's general knowledge will be at the fingertips of Joe Average all day every day. I think this will be pretty cool and would like to experience it.

You were Alberto Falk, right?

No, but I see how you could think that. I'm too lazy to create another account.

Are you a singularitarian, Domesticated?

Matrix-like reality or fucking the planet? I don't care, Keanu Reeves will solve everything.

Actually, I'd rather live multiple times in this era we live in.

I don't think I'd like any other epoch better than this one: we've got electronic music, cloud computing, a true cosmopolitan culture in the making... it's fantastic!

So, if I had the choice, I'd love to see how many times I could re-create myself in this context. I'd want to be all kinds of different people in the same century, rather than someone else living in a different age.
