upload /uhp'lohd/ v.
1. [techspeak] To transfer programs or data over a digital
communications link from a system near you (espercially a smaller
or peripheral `client' system) to one further away from you
(especially a larger or central `host' system). A transfer in the
other direction is, of course, called a download 2. [speculatively] To move the
essential patterns and algorithms that make up one's mind from
one's brain into a computer. Those who are convinced that such
patterns and algorithms capture the complete essence of the self
view this prospect with pleasant anticipation.
