You have probably stumbled upon a page describing how to become immortal, you have seen movies about it and you have read books. But if a person says that it�s possible you would just laugh and call him stupid, but that�s not the case for Dmitry Itskov.
Dimitry Itskov, a 32 year old Russian billionaire is planning on living forever. He plans to achieve this feat by the year 2045, which gives the name of his idea-�Initiative 2045�
He has a simple idea- To build an android body for himself.
As simple as it may sound it�s really complicated in reality. The idea aims to create the technology enabling the transfer of a person�s personality into an advanced non-biological carrier and extending life, including to the point of immortality.
Itskov has named his �advanced non biological carrier� �an avatar� (some inspiration from a Hollywood movie!!), which is regulated by a brain computer interface. Itskov says that it function somehow like the 2009 James Cameron movie Avatar. No matter how dubious it sounds but Itskov has put a lot number of world class experts to work on his idea.
We are facing the time where the unconscious evolution period has almost finished, and we come to the new era, a new period of controlled evolution,� says Itskov in a video interview.
�Initiative 2045� wants to make the Avatar technology available by the year 2020.
Itskov also says that by the year 2025 he expects autonomous life-support system for the human brain linked to a robot, which means he will be on a hold of technology that could implant the human brain into a robot. By the year 2035 a human should be able to upload there brain into a robot and by the year 2045 we will be replaced by holograms or our body will be. �We will transform into a new species, when this will happen� says Itskov.
To make these goals a reality, the Global future Congress held its first meeting in Moscow last year. The Congress has promised that it will reveal the most human like robot the world has ever seen when they will meet in New York in June this year.
There are a few flaws to Itskov�s idea, but many believe that it can happen. Itskov�s initiatives 2045 has lead almost twenty thousand people supporting his idea. Many folks are also calling for the year 2045 as a new religion and set of ethics because they don�t believe any of the current ones can handle the societal implications of living forever. This in turn has lead Itskov to form his own political party in Russia called �Evolution 2045.�
There are still many years left to see if the age of immortality is here or not, but I would say the age of traffic jams is definitely here. What will happen if we all become immortal?
Let�s just leave it to your imagination.
