The Future of the Brain

The Takeaway

What our brains hold and what they do is something we’ve been exploring, but what will they do in the future? If Ray Kurzweil has his way, our brains will be alive to see it.  
Ray Kurzweil  is a technologist and futurist who is on a mission to make us all immortal. According to Kurzweil, technology is progressing at a faster and faster rate so that in 10 or 15 years cancer may not exist and aging may be reversible. His newest book is called “How to Create a Mind: The Secret of Human Thought Revealed.”
