How far do we want to evolve?

I've thought of a couple of blog posts over the last week, but I've always been too busy to post and now I've forgotten what they were 😞.  I envision a future where our minds are always connected to the internet and we can just mentally post our thoughts to our blog, making it much easier to do a post.

But even then we're still limited.  It still takes a fair amount of thought to formulate a post.  If I'm busy with another task, I can't always interrupt it trying to write a post.  What we really need is a way to 'fork' mental versions of ourselves to do these tasks, and then have these versions merge back to ourselves once the task is done so we can reap the benefits of this versions experience.

I'm purposely avoiding the term 'clone' here because that usually implies a physical genetic clone of your body, which would not have your memories and personality, and I'm talking about forking off a mental version of your memories and personality, which is kind of the exact opposite of a physical clone.  This forked version (not a clone) would only exist in the internet and could only do internet things.  I guess having a physical clone that could also have your memories and personality might be more flexible, but for the purposes of this discussion, I'm going to limit myself to only exploring the forked mental version.

Merging the forked version back into yourself avoids the problem of the forked version wanting to having to die.  Maybe an exact mental copy would still have a will to live and not want to merge back, but we could probably find a way to modify the copy somewhat so avoid this problem.

The problem is that, with today's technology where the internet is just a bunch of 0s and 1s, this mental copy isn't going to be exactly like you, and these new experiences that get merge back into you won't be exactly like what you would have experienced had you actually done the task yourself.  It would be like the difference between analogue and digital music.  With enough bits maybe we could make it similar enough that we can't discern the difference, but it would never be exactly the same.  What we merge back would always be a little bit alien.  Are we willing to make this leap?
