................
The End of Death: 'Soul Catcher' Computer Chip Due...
By Robert Uhlig, The Electronic Telegraph, England (From CNI News)
A computer chip implanted behind the eye that could record
a person's every lifetime thought and sensation is to be
developed by British scientists.
"This is the end of death," said Dr. Chris Winter, of
British Telecom's artificial life team. He predicted that
within three decades it would be possible to relive other
people's lives by playing back their experiences on a
computer. "By combining this information with a record of
the person's genes, we could recreate a person physically,
emotionally and spiritually."
Dr. Winter's team of eight scientists at BT's Martlesham
Heath Laboratories near Ipswich calls the chip the 'Soul
Catcher.' It would be possible to imbue a new-born baby
with a lifetime's experiences by giving him or her the Soul
Catcher chip of a dead person, Dr. Winter said. The
proposal to digitize existence is based on a solid calculation
of how much data the brain copes with over a lifetime.
Ian Pearson , BT's official futurologist, has measured the
flow of impulses from the optical nerve and nerves in the
skin, tongue, ear, and nose. Over an eighty year life, we
process 10 terrabytes of data, equivalent to the storage
capacity of 7,142,857,142,860,000 floppy disks.
Dr. Pearson said, "If current trends in the miniaturization
of computer memory continues at the rate of the past 20
years - a factor of 100 every decade - today's 8-megabyte
memory chip norm will be able to store 10 terrabytes in 30
years."
British Telecom would not divulge how much money it is
investing in the project, but Dr. Winter said it was taking
'Soul Catcher 2025' very seriously. He admitted that there
were profound ethical considerations, but emphasized that
BT was embarking on this line of research to enable it to
remain at the forefront of communications technology.
"An implanted chip would be like an aircraft's black box
and would enhance communications beyond current concepts,"
he said. "For example, police would be able to use it to
relive an attack, rape, or murder from the victim's
viewpoint to help catch the criminal."
Other applications would be less useful but more
frightening. "I could even play back the smells, sounds,
and sights of my holiday to my friends," Dr. Winter said.

capacity of 7,142,857,142,860,000 floppy disks.
Reggono poco, quei floppy disks. Quanto fa, 10 Terabytes diviso
7142857142860000? (1 Tera = 1024 Giga = 1048576 Mega).
A parte che 10 Terabytes e' la colonna sonora di un anno circa,
non compressa. Per trent'anni di audio/video/palpo ;-) serve un
bel po' di piu'.

terabytes. Per registrare anche quello che _vedi_... be'... 8-(
  Ma non era una notizia uscita gia' l'anno scorso creando un thread
per calcolare appunto la memoria necessaria in qualche area di Fidonet
(non ricordo se si trattasse della MISTERI.ITA o della SCIENZA.ITA)?
Io speravo che tu riuscissi a ritrovare i dati nella tua memoria
biotronica... ;-)
  Ciao :-)

  Nell'indirizzo, sostituire lana con seta
  In the address, replace lana with seta

biotronica... ;-)
La parte relativa a Fidonet si e' arrestata nel gennaio 1998, mi pare
(non e' escluso che non mi riattacchi, pero'. Prima o poi).
Ci daro' un'occhiata, comunque.
