ARTI: A bionic alternative
I’ d like to direct our readers’ attention to the prescience of Raymond Kurzweil, Google’ s technical director, who has been making futuristic predictions in his lectures, interviews, books, and blogs since the 1990s. He is confident that, thanks to technological progress, we will be able not just to lengthen our lives, but acquire the immortality we have long dreamed of. Here are some of his predictions:
A mass market for implants will appear and begin growing about 2025. By 2031 human organs will be grown in test tubes and printed on 3D-printers. By 2032 nanorobots will have numerous medical uses, including delivering nutritional substances to human cells, removing waste products, and conducting detailed scanning of the human brain, which will help us better understand the nuances of its operation. By 2036, using the same approach to biology as to programming, humanity will begin programming cells to treat medical maladies. 2038 will be marked by the appearance of robotized people who will be equipped with additional intelligence and diverse implants, from camera eyes to prosthetic extra arms. And by about 2042 the idea of immortality will be implemented in practice due to an army of nanorobots that will supplement the immune system and“ scrub away” illnesses. Many who are reading these words will live long enough to verify the accuracy of Kurzweil’ s predictions.
