Memoteries                                                              The more I think about it, the more comfortable I am about the concept of citizens eventually abandoning their biological forms and transferring their intelligence to a more suitable and long-term structures.
     Dos said, one of the big advantages will be the ability to transit great distances in a flash through data transmissions. Imagine that, I will be there in a flash dear, as quick as a text.
     Dollcee said, if the intelligence is held in memory, then a neural network would not always be necessary.
     Imagine that, the cemeteries of the future will be massive memory banks. Where the authorities will be able to go along and find some citizen’s memory, plug it into a neural network and ask, questions like, three hundred years ago on the third of July, where were you Frank at ten thirty pm? Frank would respond, I was in my main frame playing a game. Cemeteries will probably be replaced by memoteries.
     Dollcee said, I wonder how much of the active function of the current citizen’s neural network is devoted purely to the maintenance of the biological structure that the intelligence is housed in.
     Dos said, it would be my guess that it is almost the entire function of the neural network. What the intelligence can do besides manage its own preservation is probably relatively minor.
     Dollcee said, so a blind, deaf and mute neural network with a life support system, would not have to be that elaborate.
      Dos said, probably not and possibly achievable at the current time. For example, you could probably go to the memotery and retrieve several citizen’s memories and connect them in either series or parallel to an operational neural network and sit back and probably be totally entertained by the transmitted content.
     Dollcee said, the amount of data that has already been collected in the last couple of decades will be nothing, compared to what is ahead of us. So really, the big challenge is not memory, but the functioning neural interface or memory
convertor.
     Dos said, once again Dollcee, it is all about perception and interpretation. What is most important, the cultural memory or the active intelligence, or the biological structures that they are housed it.
     Dollcee said, like the dinosaurs, those biological structures are going to be made redundant unless they can become more economically and environmentally efficient. Probably reducing them in size dramatically.
     Dos said, by separating the intelligence from the biological structure of the citizen as two distinct things, could that be interpreted as a crime against cultural beliefs. Some of the churches might get upset with this concept, even though they
probably thought it up in the first place with sending souls to heaven when the body ceases to function.
     Cybo said, something has to already exist before anyone takes any notice of the possibility for it to exist. So, if the citizen’s intelligence and biological structure are generally recognised as two separate entities, then, it would not take long for it to be accepted that there is the character of the citizen and
the structure it is housed in. Please download your character here at the memotery.
     Dollcee said, what will happen then?
     Dos said, I think we should delete this conversation and hope that our devices were not listening in, in case the future of citizens is dependent on the separation of intelligence from the body and we are held responsible for making it part of popular cultural content against the wishes of some very unimpressed citizen believers.
