Don't want to die: Why isn't the world more futuristic?

The thought of dying is impossibly tragic, I just can't imagine being nothing and not caring about anything. In the thousands of years to come, we will be able to scan a persons' neurones in their heads and build a copy of their life thoughts... basically, to digitize our thoughts and therefore live forever, by dispensing with our biological bodies.

But... why am I alive NOW, and not hundreds of years in the future when such technology is possible?

Why do I have to *die* without seeing us explore the stars and planets, without seeing where Computers will lead us, and without seeing how far technology can go?

I mean... if I didn't have commitments here, and it was safe... I would freeze myself and tell them to wake me up in 100 years. But what if war, religious fundamentalism (Christians in the USA, & Muslims in the East) disrupt the cryogenic system? What a complete waste, to die without even knowing.

When I die... I want to it to be slow, predictable, visible... not sudden, not heroic, not unforseen. I want every last thought out of life!

So... I keep fit, eat well, keep my brain busy, drink lots of water... anything, to prolong life expectancy and mental health.
