That sounds like one hell of a job! The article really goes into a lot more than the title leads on. It's pretty impressive (and scary) to know how many arms of Google are wrapped around us daily. Hail Hydra?
This part made me chuckle..

Twenty years ago, you wouldn’t have been able to talk to anyone on this.” So, here is Maris, a important guy at Google, holding up an... iPhone?  |

If we ever start extending human lifespans like that, the earth is screwed. We're going to need to SEVERELY limit the number of children we have, or we're going to need to be incredibly clever with how we live in this planet.

Humans can live to 120, in recent year, the longest recorded lifespan has been 122.5 I believe.
500 years is certainly possible, but unless we can live much of that in an extended 20s or 30s body, maybe 40s, I'm not sure what the quality of life would be. _________________ Massivedesign wrote: I am thinking of a number somewhere between none of and your business. |

They had the years of Jubilee back then, so Moses would wipe out the debt every 7 years, or 40....can't recall exactly. Sorry Jim, I have to side with Moses there. _________________ Massivedesign wrote: I am thinking of a number somewhere between none of and your business. |
