Live long enough to live forever. I'll never give up on the hope of life extension, even if that possibility is slim..

@willowicious1 8 лет назад

Immortality will come about around 2050, but it will most likely be a living hell inside a machine. Emotion should be stripped away and the passage of time will gradually be forgotten.

@NeWx89 8 лет назад

2045 often seems to be the magic year I've heard. But futurology is weird. Of course it's based on statistical extensions, like moore's law is. So it is likely I suppose as technology is exponential. I don't think life extension will be one thing. Am guessing you're talking about the the upload one. Uploading yourself onto a neurological computer. Living hell? okey, I don't know why you think that. Emotions *should* be stripped? So you're in favor of that living hell. No, there will be more ways. The most obvious one is just the extensions of our own biological bodies. Diseases at old age will start to be curable, cancer, alzheimer's, parkinson's etc. That means living longer, and if you live long enough you might live into other breakthroughs. Telomere extensions, the removal of cellular waste, lab grown organs, cybernetics, nanorobotics, regenerative medicine, personal medicine, etc. Until you live at a time in where life extension technology is expanding faster than you are aging. This one could also count as a slow version of becoming one with the machine as biological and robotical technologies merge. A third one would be the cryonics or biostasis. Placing an organism into a long stasis of "sleep" until revived many years into the future.

Damn its creepy if you go from the beginning, fast forward to 6:19, then rewind to the beginning again, then back to 6:19. It's surreal to see someone's life pass by in a blip of time. I can just can't contemplate it, our life comparing to the billions of years of the universe.

The transition into 4:42 you can hear the youthful nature of his voice. It seems we hit a second 'puberty' around 27 when your voice loses that youthful sound and deepens. That's when you're officially a grown man in my eyes.

The Americas went from imitation wood paneling to drywall. It was everywhere back then we had wood arm couches with brownish colored cushions brown paneling everywhere and yellow shag carpet. It was almost as if we wanted to be one with its woody grain. Joining the planks and infusing ourselves with the fibers of their very composition. Existing in spacial super-position and resonating at the same vibratory frequencies. Luckily, we found out how much nicer drywall looks.

@bumba220 8 лет назад

I think it's just that he let his hair grow, and grew a full beard which happened to be mostly gray. He was mostly clean shaven in the late 90's except for the stache. He looks older again in the early 90's. Beards make everyone look older than they are, especially if they're gray.

This video was a pleasure to watch, thanks for sharing! All those years of filming finally pays off when a compilation like this is put together. A simple, novel idea but has such a nostalgic effect in a time lapse. I am currently 21 and thinking of doing something similar to this. It seems so strange to me, that past the year 1991 (the year i was born) there is nothing i can relate to, even stranger trying to imagine not being in existence. Our lives on earth are mere short whispers in time!
