Extending Our Existence (part 1)


Medicine has advanced to prolong our life expectancies, but physical immortality seems something of fantasy more than science fiction. It is still very unrealistic to hope that, in our lifetimes, a discovery will be made that would allow us to live hundreds of years long. Faced with this knowledge, many people are looking to leave something of themselves behind that might live on long after they are gone. A new tech company is currently working on creating a 3D “digital alter ego” of yourself who will talk to your family and friends long after you've died. It seems that the concept has won quite a crowd because so far, over 25,000 people have signed up on the website, Eterni.me, hoping to immortalize themselves.
