Futurist predicts that we will achieve immortality within just 8 years

[staarker]

Computer scientist Ray Kurzweil is certainly no stranger to making predictions about technology and the future.
When it comes to predicting the future, Kurzweil - who has written numerous books on the subject - is someone worth listening to.

Back in 1990, he predicted that a computer would be able to beat a human at chess within 10 years (which actually happened) and he also predicted that smartphones would become an integral part of all our lives (which also came true).

Now he is predicting that we will develop a way to make ourselves immortal within 8 years.

Speaking during a recent podcast, he stated that we will find a way to increase life expectancy by "more than a year every year" and that this will happen within a decade.

I think it already has been achieved in private. Do I think it will be widespread in 8 yeas....no. Technology like that will only be available for the rich in my opinion.

Just think about the negative implications that this can have...when nobody dies. Just another technology that will lead to the destruction of mankind.
