    I'm not so sure Moore's law has that much of a future.

    They're not really making CPUs faster by much anymore. They're focused on making them use less power and have more cores.

    They may become much more parallel, but I don't see processors becoming many times faster than they are already.

    If its an issue of memory, the NSA may be building a disk farm in the near future that's sufficient in size.

    A brain is just an organ. Why not download my stomach instead?

    If ever achieved it would obviously not be available to the 99%.

    Ruling class only.

    Will we all have our own computer or will our bits be mingling?

    How many billions of money have been spent to end up in bullshit predictions that will never happen.

    Weren't we supposed to have vehicles by now that didn't use natural resources in order for them to operate?

    How is the loss of selfhood, the mingling of minds, different from the afterlife?

    We will all live in the reflection of Bob Whitsitt, like sitting around a campfire for eternity.

    Something tells me that even if it does happen it will be reserved for only the hyper-wealthy and/or influential folk of the world. Maybe that will become the new racism?
