Googles Director of Engineer Ray Kurzweil believes that we are little more than a decade away from taking major steps towards immortality. <\/p>\n
The tech specialist, who has long supported the notion of immortality, says that medical advancements and improved technology in the coming 12 years will see humans being given the option to live forever. <\/p>\n
Mr Kurzweil said: \"I believe we will reach a point around 2029 when medical technologies will add one additional year every year to your life expectancy. <\/p>\n
\"By that I dont mean life expectancy based on your birthdate, but rather your remaining life expectancy. <\/p>\n

By 2045, the 69-year old says, humans will be able to live forever. <\/p>\n
He continued: \"The nonbiological intelligence created in that year will reach a level thats a billion times more powerful than all human intelligence today.\" <\/p>\n

The Google chief says that one of the steps that will allow us to live forever will be the invention of nanotechnology that can be placed in our bodies. <\/p>\n
Once inside, the minuscule bots will be a significant improvement on our immune system and will be almost 100 per cent effective at fighting disease. <\/p>\n

Originally known as BackRub, Google was founded by Larry Page and Sergey Brin in a friend's garage while they were Ph.D. students at Stanford University. It has since grown to become the world's biggest search engine. <\/p>\n
Another step will be connecting our brains to the internet or a cloud network, which will be as big of a step in evolution as when our ancestors developed the frontal cortex 2 million years ago, according to Mr Kurzweil. <\/p>\n
He said: \"Well create more profound forms of communication than were familiar with today, more profound music and funnier jokes. <\/p>\n
\"Well be funnier. Well be sexier. Well be more adept at expressing loving sentiments.\" <\/p>\n
