Hey Andre:
Not sure which email you're using (or, hell, if you're still using email period), but anyway. Congratulations on the new year, by the way. Do anything interesting? Never mind, this sort of communication is time-directional.
Anyway, to the point:
I'm going to make a few predictions about where I'll be when I'm you in ten years. If they're accurate, you can feel free to walk around smugly. If they're not, you're probably best off discarding this email and pretending it didn't happen.
First off:
You have augmented reality. Good augmented reality. In fact, you're probably reading this on a pair of glasses or contact lenses, possibly inserted into real space in realtime.
Second: you have a computer in your home in the neighborhood of two teraflops. This will allow for photorealistic simulation and basic AI. It will still be fifteen years before you have affordable neural simulation.
Third: you have massive life extension technology. Your biological body might live another two hundred years.
Fourth: naanotechnology is finally taking off, well behind schedule.
Fifth: you can rent a body, and remote pilot it on the other side of the world, using augmented reality to cover it with the illusion of a realistic skin.
That's all for now,
Andre
