Digital Immortality

The most feared thing in the world is death every one know he will die one day and thinking it's our fortune we are living. Many attempts from history has done to overcome death and increase human life expectancy but if we leave little bit success we don't get near our goal
But there is a way by which human can be immortal it is a hypothesis but research on it start decade ago.
This is digital immortality means integration of human and computers this is possible by  human consiuness or memory survive till long time. This seems to sceince fiction but it is true.
The futurist Ian Pearson believes that humans will achieve a kind of virtual immortality by saving into computers by the year 2050.The National Science Foundation has awarded a half-million-dollar grant to the universities of Central Florida at Orlando and Illinois at Chicago to explore how researchers might use artificial intelligence, archiving, and computer imaging to create convincing, digital versions of real people, a possible first step toward virtual immortality.
The Digital Immortality Institute explores three factors necessary for digital immortality. First, at whatever level of implementation, avatars require guaranteed Internet accessibility. Next, avatars must be what users specify, and they must remain so. Finally, future representations must be secured before the living users are no more.
Method of digital immortality

Reaching digital immortality is a two-step process:

archiving and digitizing people,
making the avatar live

Archiving and digitizing people

According to Gordon Bell and Jim Gray from Microsoft Research, retaining every conversation that a person has ever heard is already realistic: it needs less than a terabyte of storage (for adequate quality).The speech or text recognition technologies are one of the biggest challenges of the concept.

A second possibility would be to archive and analyze social Internet use to map the personality of people. By analyzing social Internet use during 50 years, it would be possible to model a society's culture, a society's way of thinking, and a society's interests.
I think you have understand many things about digital immortality if you have any questions. Then ask in comments box
That's it for today I will with next interesting sceince fact.
