What do you think life will be like in 100 years?
Read this story by E M Forster entitled, The Machine Stops. He wrote this story in 1909, and a lot of what he describes is similar to the life we live today. At the time, it must have seemed like a complete fantasy, but it exists now. Ray Kurzweil thinks that we will soon be able to simulate the human brain and possibly be able to save all our memories virtually. Hear some of his thoughts in this video.
