If you could transfer your thoughts, memories, and personality; into a computer would you? Why or why not?
personality yes, memories and thoughts no. Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! memories are past, we shouldn't cling up to them. Why? I believe in reincarnation. For me life is heaven and if I dont work hard enough it can be hell as well.
Nothing goes wasted, everything is recorded and stored for ever and ever and ever and available for all to see.
It would be difficult to put my personality into a computer for many reasons. WSo I would not want to do that As fit my thoughts , they changes as time goes by so they wouldn't be the same tomorrow as they are today. So I wouldn't put my thoughts into a computer either. Memories are another thing only I want to know about so why would I want to share them with a computer, only I want to keep my memories with me while I'm alive for they only make sense to me and no one else.
I had an idea bout 6 years ago and I still think its becoming reality. People who have lost an eye already are especially likely to - get a fake eye with a video cam in it, wirelessly linked up to storage. The technology seems easy enough, and the chance for headline news fame is there, so yes I think memories will be in computers one day, for some people.
I think what we are talking about is scanning the entire brain, neuron by neuron and lower and higher - and putting that on a hard-drive. In this case is it only a problem of tech tools. Once we talk about the personality actually working or whatever inside the computer than you're right, there are a lot more difficulties.
This is the oldest philosophical problem in the book. One of the mind games I like to play goes like this: Suppose I could teleport anywhere in the world for free. At the button press, my body/mind is instantly created on the other side, and instantly destroyed on this side. Would I do it & why?
