The human brain contains roughly 100 terabytes of information. That's not that much when you consider it. The question isn't how to store it, but how to access it. You can't download a personality. There is no way to translate the data. But the information being held in our heads IS available in other databases. People leave more than footprints as they travel through modern life. medical scans, DNA profiles, psych evaluations, school records,emails, recordings, video, audio, cat scans, security cameras, test results, shopping records, talent shows, ball games, traffic tickets, restaurant bills, phone records, music lists, movie tickets, TV shows, and prescriptions for birth control.
Are memories stable, accessible, re-creatable?
I think so.
But is a person any more than just usable data?
Do you ever feel like just a programmed mix of all that data?
an AVATAR of yourself?
What if you are nothing but an avatar for someone ELSE'S image of who you should be?
you just don't know it yet.
