Prominent Scientist Predicts Immortality in Twenty Years

Ray Kurzweil, inventer and scientist, claims that in 20 years, technology will have made such significant leaps that nanobots, miniature robots, will have the capacity to enter the bloodstream and repair damaged cells, thereby keeping us "forever young". Normally, this would be dismissed as the rantings of a crazy person, but this particular guy has been named a "modern Edison" and is a respected writer on the emergence of intelligent machines.

Personally, I hope he's right, because I am eager to see the 63rd season of American Idol.
