“Our thinking then will be a hybrid of biological and non-biological thinking. We’ll be able to extend our limitations and think in the cloud. We’re going to put gateways to the cloud in our brains,”
 

“We’re going to gradually merge and enhance ourselves. In my view, that’s the nature of being human – we transcend our limitations.”

The beautiful human minds have touched the ultimate frontiers of thoughts/researches in all the fields of Physics and Metaphysics in last 200 years of combined human civilization

Mere thinking the many possibilities of cloud-powered brains....just thrills !!

Soon we all shall be able to extend our limitations and think in the cloud, first with gateways in our hands and then embedded nanobots in our brain cells itself !!
