No not the failed attempt for Microsoft to name its user group for the failed Kin… Generation Upload is the generation that was uploaded before they were born. This will be the first generation in human history to have its own published PRE-history.
It will be defined by individuals that define themselves through a collective.
It will be the first generation that if it was put in a time machine and sent back just a hundred years ago, they would have a very hard time interacting with the other people.
It will be the first to take the best of being a highly centralized system and incorporate the strengths of a diffused system. It will be the first that will have more collective knowledge about the world and themselves, outside of themselves, for computers to mimic their responses, behaviors and emotions.
Privacy as we think of it, will be a restriction on who they are.
Generation upload will redefine the notion of self. This generation has no yoU.
