For reading material on the subject of technological advancement I found "Cognitive Surplus: Creativity and Generosity in a Connected Age by Clay Shirky". This book explains how we as a society are capable to help one another through the wonders of technology and that we now use our free time not for pleasure but to create and share.

Ray Kurzweil believes that with the exponential progress with technology we will soon be able to reach nanobot tech as well as increasing the life of humans. Towards the end of his TED Talk he shares the idea of being able to experience virtual reality using nanobot technology:

"...full-immersion virtual reality from within the nervous system, the nano-bots shut down the signals coming from your real senses, replace them with the signals that your brain would be receiving if you were in the virtual environment, and then it'll feel like you're in that virtual environment. You can go there with other people, have any kind of experience with anyone involving all of the senses."
