What is the purpose of life?
Take a look at what inventor Ray Kurzweil has to say
"As we become more intimate with our machines, biology does become trivial. The nonbiological part will accelerate and become a million trillion times more powerful than biology. Because it is the nature of the nonbiological intelligence to grow exponentially, it will eventually dominate. This whole period of transhumanism is just an interim period."
Although humans as such may disappear in the nanotechnological future, that which will endure beyond our biology will be an expression of our civilization.
