Both Haunting and Beautiful

Plep has posted one of the most beautiful and haunting things I have ever seen. Living in Three Centuries. I never wanted to live that long, but now, maybe I have a reason to.

I just got word that a great-uncle of mine passed away tonight, and I was feeling pretty indifferent about it until I looked at these photos.
Wonderful, thank you.

Wow. Haunting photos, fascinating stories.

Kurzweil, but rather then these ancient fascinating faces, people that old will just look like boring robots.

Also, all humans will need to work 70 years of indentured servitude as a robot mechanic before becoming a cyborg themselves. By 2204 there will be a revolt, with fullflesh humans and their automatons fighting off the cybergeezer oligarchy, and the instituttion of maximum lifespan of 65 years.
