Death gives meaning to our lives. It gives importance and value to time. Time would become meaningless if there were too much of it.
Supercomputers will achieve one human brain capacity by 2010, and personal computers will do so by about 2020.
By the 2030s, the nonbiological portion of our intelligence will predominate.
