Which probably wont be difficult at the time.

It really depends how far you go. Immortality is one thing, but there are so many things we could change. By the time we're finished, humanity as we know it could cease to exist. Life as we know it could cease to exist.

Like we all know, the most basic form of life is the cells that make up our bodies. If we replace these cells with nanomachines, imagine the kinds of things we could do. These ideas scare a lot of people (see: Cybermen), but I find it fascinating.

The optimal form for life to take is a form of self-replicating nanomachine with a collective intelligence which would then spread across the entire universe until all matter was a single collective intelligence, which would effectively become like a God.

After that point you can spend all week speculating as to what happens. I'm inclined to follow Scott Adam's theory, which is that 'God', having done absolutely everything it could possibly do, destroys itself, creating the Big Bang and starting the Universe over again.
