Will you sign up to become immortal?*
*unless the server accidentally gets wiped or an asteroid hits Earth.

Depends on what it'll be like floating around on a cloud.

That was the premise for an X-file episode: Kill Switch.
Sure, why not? It might be the closest we ever come to an afterlife.
Even better if consciousness could be transfered to a fresh brain. You could live out one biological lifespan, upload to the cloud, then hop into a fresh body and start again with all the old knowledge intact. Or even better, an artificial body.
Rod Serling could do something with this.

"Become immortal?" Hah. I'd die first.
Seriously, immortality - corporeal or otherwise - is something in which I'd have no interest. But if technology reached the point where such a thing were possible, it might also be sophisticated enough to store the selected memories or knowledge of the once-living. Think of all the human experiences that died with their participants, leaving no record thereof. That's something I'd find of value.
It would certainly reduce the number of questions to which the answers could only be, "We'll never know."

I wouldn't trust my consciousness to the cloud. It would have to be backed up to many hard drives, stored in many different safety deposit boxes around the world.
