Envisioning the Future

[Windows i7 920]

What is your idea of an ideal future? I would like more than almost anything else, augmented reality glasses which I could point to an object, and it would be highlighted. I could then write a message virtually onto it and anyone else with such glasses could see it. Imagine a day where video games were played outside using such augmented reality devices? This would be virtual reality on steroids. All the awesome things that computers can do + exercise. Obesity could drop, we'd be healthier, and it would be really cool being able to play things like Call of Duty as if it were real war, minus the no respawning, and terrible suffering bits. Maybe we'll even see antimatter power plants harvesting energy from colliding matter with antimatter.

i want silver space-clothes, a laser pistol and a jetpack, oh, and probably live at the bottom of the ocean, or on the moon.

i've been waiting for these things all my life, and i'm sure they're just around the corner.

If mankind doesn't get it's collective ass in gear with fixing our environment and securing it's future we won't have much of a future

but unfortunately Capitalism will consume all that we need to survive and spit out what they tell us we need until it's obsolete in 6 months.

 

[mr pc]

oh - and it would be awesome to have these walking about

until it's obsolete in 6 months.

6 months? That's a generous time scale...


I'm still waiting for this future. It should have been here by now...
