    Sends original data vs making a copy of data and sending it.

    In meme context you’d be just making a copy of your consciousness and putting it in a machine. Whatever reason you’re doing it for - escape illness, survive armageddon, nothing changes for you. A copy of you lives on though.

      I mean, just kill the host as soon as the upload is complete. at best you are not conscious during the process and when “you” wake up you are in the cloud. The version of you that awakes gets told that the “transfer” was complete.

                Oh I know San junipero, just suggesting the plot of season 2 of future man as another similar reference - minds uploaded to “the cloud” and bodies destroyed on upload complete. Haley Joel Osmand is pretty decent as the antagonist of that season.

                    Pretty good. Offbeat as all hell. Loses its way a little in season 2 but pulls it back for season 3. Wasn’t generally considered a hit, didn’t make it past season 3.
