According to Ray Kurzweil, it's a sure thing and within the next century.

Thanks to Caxton, I had the pleasure of reading it. It's a good book and gives some insight into the next few decades, puters and people.

Way back mid 20th century, there was a Walt Disney comic with a pixilated parrot. So pixelated people was a pun. Pixilated meaning slightly crazy - not that I'm talking about any person in Silicon Investor in general or Coming Into Buy Range in particular. No defamation suits will be entertained.

Ray Kurzweil is one of those registered seriously proper people like George Gilder who are 'opinion makers'.
