Is consciousness an emergent property born out of the coordination of trillion of synapses? With their capcities growing exponentially, after a threshold is crossed, is there a chance for computers to become conscious of themselves? And one day , if we succeed in transfering the neural electrical activities into microchips, can we free our consciousness from our perishable bodies and embrace eternity? I'm not looking for a yes - or no - answer, but is the line of thought just a freak mind's musings?
