Two excerpts: Techies and theologians are talking about the spiritual implications of the Web, robots and virtual reality�and they think business leaders should too. and from about halfway into the article: By 2040, imagines Kurzweil, cofounder of Wellesley, Mass.-based Kurzweil Technologies, "we'll be able to send billions of 'nanobots,' which are tiny robots the size of blood cells, into the human brain where they can communicate wirelessly with our biological neurons." Virtual reality will mix with reality, with some consequences that sound stranger than fiction. Kurzweil blithely explains how people will be able to beam out their entire flow of sensory experience�and even the neurological correlates of their emotions�onto the Web. "You'd be able to plug in and see what it's like to be someone else," Kurzweil says (as in Being John Malkovich). "That will aid our empathy."
