Constantly emerging new technologies force us to “evolve” relentlessly, and in the future people will gain “digital immortality”, giving birth to a new species of Homo Optimus. This was stated by futurist Dr. Ian Pearson.
If you are under 40 years old, then you have a good chance to achieve "digital immortality" while still alive. This idea involves uploading all thoughts and memories to the internet for future generations. As a result, it will be possible to unite people with computers and create a new species - Homo Optimus by 2050, writes The Daily Mail.
According to Ian Pearson, over the next 35 years, people will "live" online, and even our pets will be able to "talk" to us.
“With optimized genomes and organs and the support of external technologies, people will be able to be more beautiful, intelligent and emotionally complex, as well as physically more capable and socially adapted, which will make them healthier and happier,” the expert said.
Dr. Pearson believes that with a full connection between the human brain and the computer, people will be able to move their minds into improved android bodies.
"This will allow people to have several options for identity and live a very long time even after their biological death," - says the professor.
He believes that this technology will become available by 2050, but will become widespread after another 20 years. As a result, by the end of the century, several types of people will live on Earth, including human-machine hybrids, and people living in android bodies, as well as some "smart creatures".
