One Day, We Will End Up Living Inside Computers, But It May Really Suck

Consciousness uploading to a computer network at the time of death. It is a great idea. It will happen. People will be able to live forever, roam the universe, experience the unimaginable. Or perhaps it will all get ruined by corporations, as this video — which can be the plot for a Black Mirror episode — shows.

Do you know what’s funny? That some people will have trouble accepting that uploading your consciousness to a computer will be a possibility one day but nobody will have any trouble believing that the RIAA or the MPAA will want to charge you each time you “play” a song or movie memory in your head. They would do it now if they could.
