If consciousness and identity can span multiple distinct information-processing structures in the skull, like in the case of a patient with separated hemispheres that are not physically commected, what happens when those structures are farther apart?
Our identity is linked to the continuation of our information patterns, not any physical structure or material.
Merging our biological body with the digital could allow us to:
- Rid ourselves of habits we would rather not have.
- Learn faster and remember better.
- Reprogram ourselves to be rid of fears, traumas, and doubts that we know are preventing us from achieving what we would want to achieve.
- No longer live in a body that is gradually aging, and thus destroying the information pattern that is me.

When new innovation can be used to create the next new innovation, you get a feedback loop that creates a law of accelerating returns. This is true for information technologies.
Almost everything is about to become an information technology as AI and robotics improve to the point they can manipulate the physical world.
