Cough, what can I say…it is simply the next step  

Digital Immortality – Download the Mind by 2050

The wealthy will be able to download their consciousness into computers by 2050 – the not so well off by "2075 or 2080", claims futurologist Dr. Ian Pearson, head of the Futurology unit at BT.

While it sounds like science fiction, Pearson is serious about his claim.  He believes that humans will achieve a kind of virtual immortality by saving their consciousnesses into computers within the next 45 years.

"If you draw the timelines, realistically by 2050 we would expect to be able to download your mind into a machine, so when you die it’s not a major career problem,’ Pearson told The Observer. “If you’re rich enough then by 2050 it’s feasible. If you’re poor you’ll probably have to wait until 2075 or 2080 when it’s routine. We are very serious about it. That’s how fast this technology is moving: 45 years is a hell of a long time in IT."

Surely there is a logical explanation…well yeah if you read this.
