Kathleen Miles Senior Editor, The WorldPost Posted: 10/01/2015 08:47 AM EDT KTSIMAGE VIA GETTY IMAGES An artistic rendering of a neural network with an artificial connection in a nanotechnology concept. Futurist and inventor Ray Kurzweil predicts humans are going to develop emotions and characteristics of higher complexity as a result of connecting their brains to computers. “We’re going to be funnier. We’re going to be sexier. We’re going to be better at expressing loving sentiment,” Kurzweil said at a recent discussion at Singularity University. He is involved in developing artificial intelligence as a director of engineering at Google but was not speaking on behalf of the company. Kurzweil predicts that in the 2030s, human brains will be able to connect to the cloud, allowing us to send emails and photos directly to the brain and to back up our thoughts and memories. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/ray-kurzweil-nanobots-bra…b0af3706dbe1e2?section=weird-news&ncid=fcbklnkushpmg00000022 Page 1 of 11 " “People will be able to very deeply explore some particular type of music in far greater degree than we can today. “Right now. he says.
