wheres my flying car and robot housemaid, dammit!

Thats cool. It seems that technology is exloding so fast that it will seem like we are literally living in the future. This makes one very optimistic for the future.

I was really excited when I first read about it but I don't want to get my hopes up, the first LVT game console will come out and then we'll start hearing stories about permanent loss of balance and inability to focus and loss of depth perception and it'll only have red as a color and the games will have characters like oh I dunno...let's say Bario and it'll leave me with a sore neck and and....damn you virtual boy!!! er em...ya

Hmm, an interesting development. However, like all other developments, implementing it might have unwanted repercussions... All the same, it is good to know that the technology exists.
