 Technology Is Reinventing Humanity


The technology around  us with the digital world it's  incredible but what we're finding is  that we're starting to blur this line  between virtual and reality I think it's  a pretty interesting thing because as we  integrate more with this technology  around us we're starting to find new  ways to allow it to augment us now we  will all find ourselves somewhere along  this continuum between the real world as  we know it in the virtual world we're  going to be moving into that future very  quickly you don't currently find  yourself telling your friends about the  other day when you were walking around a  couple of social media sites and you  grab some mates from the other side of  the world and sat in an online store  whilst one of them put on some virtual  clothes but the world is changing very quickly and so we need to keep up  with that we need to raise the  conversations as to what we could  potentially achieve now in the late  eighties early s there was this rise  of virtual reality we had these headsets.

We could potentially realize  certain ideas as wacky as they are  certain ideas like being able to create  a virtual copy of ourselves and I  started thinking about that I thought  this would be amazing if we could create  a virtual copy what we need is d but  volumetric recordings volumetric capture  of a human and so this would be a very  realistic shell we give it a virtual  skeleton so that it can move and that  the computer can control it through the  programs then we get artificial  intelligence but not the general type.

Elon  Musk able to be copied so that people  could go and meet them in the virtual  world or even bring them into the real  world through augmented reality  something that was very interesting but  bringing it back to a personal level I  started to realize that I wanted to see  how it could affect us even more  emotionally starting to think about what  would happen if this was a family member  that we could preserve what we have here  is a picture of myself when I was a baby  with my grandfather  now he sounded like an absolutely lovely  man an amazing person.
