I hear scientist are researching technology to upload minds up to computer just like uploading music to your PC from you iPod. If they succeed, could it happen ? Say if you just upload two people's minds up to a computer, than download them back to the other person's brain.
"Uploading a human mind" means taking readouts of a persons mind and attempting to replicate the readouts virtually, to generate a "duplicate" version. You don't spend one making the other, so you aren't going to end up with "blank people" ready for uploads. You could potentially have a BCI active doppler system for integrating a symbiont virtual creation with a real human mind which would allow the training of that virtual creation to go beyond just the initial abstract capture or enhance the human further (Handy for those with brain damage or just missed out on the level of training necessary to tie down a job)
The human brain is not organized like a computer. It is a complex neural network. Storing new memories is more like rewiring circuitry than like putting data into some set of fixed locations. It will be a long time unil they are able to download/upload a person's mind from/to a computer or another human mind.
Not sure what to tell you. As sure I assert that Ray Kurzweil and the like are greatly exaggerating the proximity and possibility of such, some team will cough-up a clever approach/gimmick that bypasses some of the enormous challenges. Futurism is quirky. Some predictions about the current era that seemed a slam-dunk in the sixties never happened [moonbase, manned Mars mission, etc]. Others happened a lot quicker or were never predicted at all.
