I delivered this presentation at the Sci-Fi 2018 conference organised by Eurosis and taken place at the Novotel in Bruges. It considers the potential reality of Singularity and the option of immortality through a human/machine blend. The presentation describes legislation to protect environmental resources in which humans have to be put to sleep on their 100th birthday in a scenario which combines transfer of all your human experiences, relationships, traits and knowledge into an avatar who is paired with the chosen "love of your life" by a mixture of AI, your emotions and a global audience who can share your life memories and feelings and vote for a person. It challenges by example to imagine what memories the audience would retrieve on their last day.

5. My Background
Passion for Technology and Society

6. Author of Articles on Technology & Health

8. Transfer to Immortality Scenario
Fiction or Faction?
● Human longevity extended indefinitely with good
quality of life
● Unsustainable growth in population
● Legislation to limit physical age to 100
● Re-experience lifetime in 24 hours on 100th birthday
● Share total experience in ultimate reality show
● Spend eternity virtually with “perfect partner”

9. Experiential Evidence
● Impact of Enabling Disruptive
Technologies
● The Spectator Society
● Causes of mortality now lifestyle
related
● Ratio of workers to retired
declining
● Profiling and tracking technologies
● Immersive Experience Economy

10. Enabling Disruptive Digital Technologies

11. Enabling Technologies & Citizen Empowerment
Will AI augment or replace human intelligence?

12. The Spectator Society
Is our locus of control shifting?

13. Spectator Society
A sign of the times?

14. The Spectator Society
Expecting others to solve societal problems

15. Causes of Mortality Lifestyle Related
Modern Lifestyle
consequences include many
negative effects which place
increasing demands on
available resources and
threaten the sustainability
of public services for future
generations

16. Global Challenge – Health
Obesity, Diabetes, Cancer & Cardiovascular Problems
● Sedentary lifestyle
● Convenience foods
● Comfort eating
● Inadequate exercise
● Couch potato syndrome
● Spectator society

17. Changing Lifestyles
and Consumer Empowerment
One of the consequences
of this convenient and
easy access to our daily
wants and needs is a
decline in the physical and
mental challenges
necessary for our lifelong
development and health
maintenance

18. Global Challenge – Health
Ageing Society – Cognitive and Physical decline
● Declining working
population
● Longer life expectancy
● Middle Age skills “scrap
heap”
● Shift from families to care
homes
● Rising costs of elderly care

19. What can be Done ?
The consequences of a failure to address these challenges are unthinkable…..

20. The Transition from Cure to Prevention
It’s quite clear that the best chance we have for
increasing our life spans and overall improving
our health is to adjust our personal behaviours
and to do so at an early age.

21. The Same but Different !
My Body is not a Temple it is a Car

22. Navigating Life’s Journey
Life is like a journey from the cradle to the grave. We know the
starting point and the final destination and we are aware of the places
en route but we have little idea of how long the journey will last and
whether the route will be easy or difficult

23. Our Body is our Journey Vehicle
Our body is the vehicle that will take us to our final destination and its
condition determines where we are on that journey, the nature of the
journey and how long it will last. Most of us do not know or monitor our
body’s condition or properly maintain it

24. Cars before Data Technology
We used our human skills to get the best from our
vehicles supported by knowledge professionals

25. Breakdowns and Repair
The consequence of this lack of technology in older cars was
more breakdowns and a reliance on garages and mechanics to
diagnose problems, maintain and repair

26. Data Measurement and Visualisation
Modern cars tell us oil
pressure, temperature,
speed, range of petrol tank,
warn us of any impending
problems, tell us where we
are and how to get to our
destination and compute
new routes if we go off track

27. Lifestyle Technology Transforming Health Management
Wearable and embedded technologies change the dynamics of our management
like the dynamics of car health management

28. Where are We and Where can we Go?
Wearable and embedded lifestyle technologies
provide the tools to manage our health

29. Ratio of Workers to Retired Declining
Increased working lifespan – pressure on pension schemes

30. Profiling and Tracking Technologies
Does Social Media know you better than you know yourself?

31. Immersive Experience Economy
Major Investment in Virtual Reality across all Senses
