WTF?! Are you Serious?! (Season 1, Episode 9)

What do you think the future will look like?

We both know that it is not going to look like the Jetsons, or George Orwell's 1984. What do you think it will be like? Personally, I think it'll look almost identical to our current state. We will still be driving grounded cars with smoother edges that are more eco-friendly that (hopefully) run on electicity, or oxygen. Movies will be the same, maybe a bit more "interactive" with the internet paving the way for more interaction between filmmakers and audiences. This has been proven with the recent BD Live event that I was able to witness with director Chris Nolan. Food will be the same, probably more organics at a cheaper price. Video games, I feel, will have the most leap. Currently, we are restricted by the limits of our television and consoles. In the future, I feel virtual reality will most certainly make a comeback. I mean, what happened? In the 90s we had all kinds of advances with VR. The virtual boy, Nintendo's virtual game boy came out in the early 90s, albeit to horrible reviews and a slot in the hall of shame, but it was an advancement. I think VR is similar to the touch screen personally. Think about it, in the late 80s, there were tons of touch screen devices being made. Cashiers were the first to experience it because almost every cash register was touch screen. If you go into a McDonalds or Taco Bell, you're almost guaranteed to see a touch screen register from the late 80s/early 90s. Heck, even at the hospital I use an IBM touch screen register that has to be from at least 1988. Now, there was about ten years where we didn't hear squat about touch screen anything, and then Apple surprised everyone with the iPhone and now that's all anyone talks about anymore is touchscreen everything. Touch screen phones, touch screen cameras, touch screen porn........what? I didn't say anything. Anyhow, what I'm trying to say is; where is the virtual reality? You can't say there's no market for it because I din't know a single person that doesn't want to live a video game. Imagine putting on the VR headgear (glasses? helmet? How would that work?) and being inside of an action game. That would be the epic win sauce of the century. Now, incorporate the other senses such as smell and you would make billions. There's a ride at Disneyland, the circular building in Tomorrowland, that has a room in which you are able to travel to the beach. You sit on a couch and you can smell the beach and feel the beach and hear the beach and see the beach, you are at the beach. There's another one with snow, it's outstanding. This is VR. Why can't this be implemented into other fashions? TV would be killer with this add on. I would give my left nut to be in Star Wars or G.I. Jane. Alright, maybe just Star Wars. ANd you know what? Where's my food pills too? I thought those were promised in the 50s, a full course meal in a tablet. Man, the baby boomer generation got it all wrong, no nuclear war and no flying cars.
