I am obsessed with the development of the Full Dive Virtual Reality (transporting your consciousness to a virtual world, such as Sword Art Online).
I believe this technology may be available at around 200 to 300 years. How long do you think it will take us, if at all?

We will know when we have it. It is almost impossible to predict such a developement. When Star Trek started there were no objections about interstellar space travel but about the communicators. Now we have satellite phones but not even interplanetary travel.

2045! That's when Ray Kurzweil predicted that we will merge with our computers and create The Singularity.

Not everyone agrees with this prediction, though.

Sorry, but we don't discuss Kurzweil here.
