Immortality is only 20 years away

Hold on! Just 20 more years!

The Telegraph has this story about this blog's very dear friend, Mr. Ray Kurzweil (yes, we loved the keyboard, too):

The 61-year-old American, who has predicted new technologies arriving before, says our understanding of genes and computer technology is accelerating at an incredible rate.

He says theoretically, at the rate our understanding is increasing, nanotechnologies capable of replacing many of our vital organs could be available in 20 years time (full article).

Mr Kurzweil adds that although his claims may seem far-fetched, artificial pancreases and neural implants are already available.

Mr Kurzweil calls his theory the Law of Accelerating Returns. Writing in The Sun, Mr Kurzweil said: "I and many other scientists now believe that in around 20 years we will have the means to reprogramme our bodies' stone-age software so we can halt, then reverse, ageing. Then nanotechnology will let us live for ever.

Which organ are you going to change first? Please leave a comment.

UPDATE! More nanotechnology here!
