Uploading ourselves to the net<br />

In Bob Metcalf’s speech at MIT: http://web.mit.edu/alum/president/speech.html<br />

One of great insights of this talk is that the internet is the way to immortality 1 :<br />

Now, <strong>for</strong> the next 50 years, the web will drive electronic<br />

commerce into the in<strong>for</strong>mation age, ubiquitous computers<br />

will disappear into the woodwork, and we’ll start uploading<br />

ourselves into the Internet to become at last immortal.<br />

-- Robert M. Metcalfe<br />
