Digital Transcendence

People merging into computer programs & machines is both fascinating & horrific.

In most cases it's not necessary to make robots appear human.
However, this TV series depicts why a disc, cylinder, sphere, & cube robots aren't always the best shape to interact with people.

Humans, Robotics and Bionics

Key theme, a more or less intact human head & brain is transferred onto a robotic body.
http://www.cyberpunkreview.com/movie/decade/1980-1989/robocop
Thus, this could be considered as bionics, as well as robotics.

Key theme, certain robots are constructed to replicate humans, but with super strength.
http://www.cyberpunkreview.com/movie/decade/1980-1989/blade-runner
Some of them don't realize that they are A.I. machines.

In this exciting TV series the robots know that they aren't human.
http://thedigitallabyrinth.blogspot.ca/2013/11/almost-human-tv-series.html
However, perhaps at some point in the series, there might be one that has been programmed to not really know what it is.

Grace Hopper and Computers, etc.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grace_Hopper#Career,
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1-vcErOPofQ
Grace Hopper was one of those people that never liked to retire, so she kept on working right through her life.
http://www.theguardian.com/technology/2013/dec/09/grace-hopper-google-doodle-cobol-computer-language

In the 1940s & 1950s several people just considered computers to be part electronic adding_machine & part typewriter. However, once digital memory started to expand, computers really took off.

By the late 1950s, TV was starting to become commonplace, along with the telephone some decades earlier. However, most people still had no concept of being able to sit at a desk with something like a TV screen, landline telephone & typewriter.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teletype_Corporation

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teletype_Model_33#Interface 1963
As telecommunications gradually evolved through the 1960s to the 1990s many new possibilities opened up. Digital_telephones_and_voice_over_IP

Many consider late 1969 as the birth of the formation of the_Internet.

The word_processor & then the desktop_computer became more popular as the technology improved.
By the early 1990s things were off & running.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_Internet#Opening_the_network_to_commerce
By the mid 1990s Internet#Search_engines really started to take off. Especially after 2000.

...Quantum Physics PROVES There Is an After-Life

http://www.trueactivist.com/how-quantum-physics-proves-there-is-an-after-life
Its a big deal to be able to prove that consciousness could exist before & after being connected to a physical body.
http://www.lhc.ac.uk/The%20Particle%20Detectives/Take%205/13686.aspx
The religious myths & legends seem to imply that this world is a place for consciousness to experience physical life.

http://www.fqxi.org/community/articles/display/176

http://lightworker.com/Spectrum/articles/226/1/Looking-Into-the-Other-Dimensions/Page1.html
Of course, to consider that consciousness might exist in several kinds of lifeforms from various worlds is quite a stretch for many. Yet, why couldn't a multi-spectrum cosmos contain a wide variety of such things?
http://www.abovetopsecret.com/forum/thread938016/pg1

http://www.quantrek.org/quantum_hologram/quantum_hologram.htm

I prefer to use the term, interactive recording & projection of space & time.
http://www.skepdic.com/quantumhologram.html

A very extensive data recording could be made of a person & then transferred into a VR identity program. Their VRID could also be downloaded into an android or any kind of A.I. robotic structure.
http://thedigitallabyrinth.blogspot.ca/2013/12/digital-transcendence.html
However, the end result might just be a digital copy of the original persons characteristics & overall data-pattern.
Whether the universe is like its own vast A.I. machine and program or its the product of a Divine creator, humans might not be permitted to transfer consciousness into A.I. programs.

THE BLUE BOX
"The TARDIS interior has an unknown number of rooms and corridors. The exact dimensions of the interior have not been specified (although it has been said that it is about the size of the Empire State Building, The Invasion of Time). In "Journey to the Centre of the TARDIS" (2013), the Doctor later states that the TARDIS is actually infinite in size, as its living metal circuitry allows it to generate more rooms as and when they are needed."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TARDIS#Conceptual_history

Interesting science-fiction story & production about about a time traveling box that contains many rooms & corridors.

How would people in primitive times even be able to grasp such a concept of dimensional space & volume?

Many people wonder if ES is just an authorized fabrication? Perhaps he did release some sensitive data, but some say that its not as high level as it could have been. Regardless, once the ES story became a constant fixture in the news, people started to think & ask more questions about information technology.

The Skeleton Key for the cosmic simulation

As supercomputers become even more powerful some people wonder if there eventuality might be something like a digital Skeleton_key. For some reason humans developed myths & legends, metaphysics & religions. Since ancient times there has been a sense that this world & universe is part of some kind of an interactive recording & projection of space & time. Supercomputers can create multidimensional models of worlds, galaxies & even a universe or 2. Its just a matter of how much actual data & interpolated data can be put into the digital model, because at best its still just an approximation.

The_cosmic Skeleton_key, digital_physics_vs_informational_physics. Eventually a program could be developed to mimic the akashic_records. Of course for many such a notion is preposterous. Yet, how did humans get such an idea in the first place? http://www.crystalinks.com/akashicrecords.html,

The Apple Store, Microsoft Store, etc.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_Store, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Store
Stores like these don't necessarily have to be located in large malls.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samsung_Hub_(Digital_Store)
Its just more advantageous when they are, due to a mall being a popular destination.
http://store.sony.com/c/S_SonyStyle_Stores/en/c/S_SonyStyle_Stores

EBay is a great way for many people to order things on line. However, these tech stores like Apple, MS, Sony, Samsung,etc., continue to offer a physical environment to look, touch & purchase products directly.
Thus, the physical store setting remains very popular & online_shopping has convenience going for it.

Sometimes a virtual shopping_mall is just as good as a physical mall, especially if one has a cold or just isn't feeling well enough to go out shopping.

Jimmy Wales and Mark Zuckerberg, etc.

Jimmy_Wales is the captain of this growing endeavor. However, it started out as a Wales & Sanger production. There was bound to be some controversy perhaps in a way like Mark_Zuckerberg & Eduardo_Saverin.

The eventual departures of Larry_Sanger-Wikipedia & Eduardo_Saverin-Facebook allowed Jimmy_Wales-Wikipedia & Mark_Zuckerberg-Facebook to each become #1 respectively.

Steve_Jobs & Steve_Wozniak also went their separate ways. In a way, Steve_Jobs was forced to leave Apple twice.
