2030s[edit]
Mind uploading becomes successful and perfected by the end of this decade as humans become software-based: living out on the Web, projecting bodies whenever they want or need (whether in virtual or real reality), and living indefinitely so long as they maintain their "mind file". Eventually, all human beings (including those with transbiological 2.0 or 3.0 bodies) will migrate to this postbiological state except for those who wish to remain unenhanced: the transbiological era giving way to the postbiological era.

2019[edit]
...
Most people own more than one PC, though the concept of what a "computer" is has changed considerably: Computers are no longer limited in design to laptops or CPUs contained in a large box connected to a monitor. Instead, devices with computer capabilities come in all sorts of unexpected shapes and sizes.

his timeline has always struck me as odd. computers will pass the turing test and we can upload minds in the late 2020s/early 2030s and yet it takes over a decade for a technological singularity? how does that work? as soon as we can emulate human minds on computers, it becomes trivial to run them at speeds many times faster than biological brains.
