if i were an airplane trying to save myself i'd eject the deadweight...the people;)

That "programming the computer" thing could backfire though - if it's so terrified of crashing, the best thing to do is stay on the ground. How could you ever convince it to go up in the first place? :p

I highly doubt that in 2050, we will have these capabilities...

I am moreso thinking 2150....

Saying that the Playstation 5 will have the computing power of a human brain is crazy...

Truth is, technology just isnt advancing that fast, even though it seems as though it is...

The day we start seeing biological processors being sold by Intel is the day I will believe we have the capabilities for downloading our brains...
