Thanks to endless photos on social media and the wealth of information on the Internet, future people should have a clear picture of how we lived in the 21st century.
But Marline Rothblatt, a business woman from the US, wants to go a step further by digitally cloning （克隆）human minds.
The “mindclones“ would have all of our thoughts, feelings, and be able to think just like us. Rothblatt imagines that mindcloncs will first begin as digital （数字的） assistants（助手）in our mobile devices excite在线翻译（装置），until they become walking, talking versions （版本）of us - but the are far from reality at the moment.
Mindcloning technology is still very young, and it might be a long time before wc can nd
our man-made lves to school so wc don't have to sit through math class. However, scientists at Stanford University in the United States recently created a circuit （电路）board modeled on the human brain that could simulate（模拟）1 million neurons （神经元）and billions of connections in the brain.
Finally, Rothblatt es mindclones having their own rights as people, and even falling in love and getting married.
“Let's say [the ex Apple CEO] Steve Jobs meets another mindclonc. They fall in love. Mindclones are just people without bodies. Once the mindclones fall in love, they are going to get married. That's what people do,“ she said.
But Rothblatt^ idea that the digital versions of ourlves would have the same rights as people is not shared by everyone. Some people have thought that the mind must be embedded （嵌入）bracein biology for it to be thought as "lift”, HuffPost reported.

B
I needed to buy a digital camera, one that was just good at taking good photos, maybe sometimes for magazines. I went online, spent 15 minutes reading product reviews on good websites, wrote down the names of three top recommendations and headed for my nearest big friendly camera store. There in the cupboard was one of the cameras on my list. And it was on special offer. I pointed at it and asked an assistant, “Can I have one of tho?^^ He looked perturbed （不安）.“Do you want to try it first?** he said. It didn't quite sound like a question. "Do I need to?” I replied. "There's nothing wrong with it?” This made him look a bit unhappy and I started to feel bad. "No, no. But you should try it." he said. "Compare it with the others.”
