It will probably go green unless we fuck ourselves up with nukes or something. It's the same thing with population, it will level-off around 10 billion.

there's no way in the next 200 years we'll be able to transfer a self conscious mind to a digital support, we could create a perfect copy (that could even be considered as life) but the original body won't be conscious of his new being

Machine intelligence doesn't even exist yet, computers can store knowledge, but aren't inteligent. Application may make impression of being smart but only up to degree anticipated by a programmer.

Biological immortality.

Who's saying it won't be both benevolent and violent? Will it be more like the Vision? Will it be like the Transformers villain? These questions will be answered in time.

kurzweil is delusional. he thinks he will be immortal by 2045.

Look at what happened to the middle east's "gold age" when Islam kicked in. Look what is happening to Europe now that postmodernism has kicked in.

That's a fake and you know it. I hope that you understand that it's fascist propaganda and that you participate. You're a fascist or an ally of fascists.

Quantum teleportation. They've done it with photons, how long before they can do it with electrons?

Ok, so you're a fascist. Communists gonna send you to gulag.

>>53254671
Problem with this is you have no idea where 2013 is on that graph.
Saying 'this' like some idiot makes you just look stupid.

>>53259419
To add: Quantum teleportation abides by the no-cloning law of physics. You cannot duplicate a photon/electron/etc exactly, it will transfer the information's state.

There is likely something big coming in the next 20-30 years but nobody really knows what it will be or how much it will change things. Companies can foresee it and are preemptively trying to protect themselves.

http://www.nytimes.com/2016/01/24/magazine/why-are-corporations-hoarding-trillions.html

I don't think it's going to be any advancement, though. Sure, things will progress but I think environmental collapse (through natural disaster, or otherwise), or maybe war, is going to leave industries struggling to compete for scant resources in developed nations. Of course, I hope it's replicators so we can all live happily in the post-scarcity economy.

The curve is sigmoid not exponential.

The singularity is always 30 years away at any point in time.

>The curve is sigmoid not exponential.

Bingo.
Diminishing returns is a law that cannot be broken. We do not experience true exponential growth in anything, all trends reach a point where increased investment of X returns lesser values of Y.
