The Future's so Bright... I gotta build a bunker.


I really want you to watch this. I want you to realize where our technology is headed.

did you watch it? .. all 3 minutes and 53 seconds? ... ok.


Well, initially, I was pretty freakin' scared. This is FOR REAL. The game system is reading your tone of voice, your face and your body movements... tell me that's not a little weird. Did you see how Claire's reflection appeared in the pond? This game system is combining the real world with the gaming world. There is another video in the related video tab that presents this system in commercial form - it seems a lot less scary, friendly, even.

The idea of this system could be pretty cool - not gonna lie. But where will we go next? Have you SEEN iRobot? ... yeah. That's gonna be us. Maybe I'm overreacting about this whole game system thing. Maybe. Perhaps not.

In addition to this little advancement in technology, there is now talk of a mind-reader machine... officially known as a "thought identifier." scared yet?

If you're not... check this out:

Ok. again... our techonology is going to land us somewhere we don't want to be. The things people say are bad enough, why do we want to know the things that go on in their brains that remains unsaid? Do we really want to know what assosiations are made in their mind when the word 'hammer' flashes across the screen? Really?? ... I don't really know if I'm trying to make a point here, but I just wanted to share this. No, I wanted to warn you! ha. RUN! HIDE! Milo is coming for you and he wants to read your mind. haha
