I wonder what this would do to one's memory? Until we invent a way to store and backup memories, we have very limited capacity to work with. I'm not sure what hundreds or thousands of years of memories would do to a person. It would be a shame to lose large portions of your life just because you couldn't store everything in memory.

I was under the impression that the study showed we are only using a portion of our brains at any given time, but taken over a time period, we use our entire brains. I'll try to find a link.... In any case, our memory capacity is finite, whether we are using our entire brains or not. If the length of a life is infinite, that creates issues.

Oh man, if I knew I would live forever, I'd become the worst procrastinator EVER! I'd be saying "I'll get that done tomorrow" for, like, 800 years.
