What would?

[UUoodseifer]

What would you like to see the internet transform to in the 23rd century.

[Blood_Luster]

Games where you move around with you're body(i.e. like a RPG or somthing) I realize that'd be like....never... but I can dream...

[UUoodseifer]

UUhat, like VR?????

[Skywalker[TSG]]

i wouldn't mind having a holodeck.

That would be so cool

[UUoodseifer]

Most people seem to want like a VR experience of some sort.........
I aint sayin I wouldn't like but, It would be supremely boss

[Knothead]

UUoodseifer, have you ever read the work of (British SciFi author) Alfred Bester?

Back in the '50's, he wrote "The Demolished Man"...and among the concepts in it, he dreamed up the concept of Jaunting...

This involves a learned, but innately human ability to transfer not only one's consciousness, (remote viewing) but one's entire physical being to another place. Just by imagining it, and....concentrating...

FWOOM! You're in the Azores. Just like that.

We don't need no steenkin' Internet where WE'RE going....

23rd century? Rather impossible to predict of course..IMO Star Trek-style creations will be possible, IMO. I always wanted to press a button and *POOF* any style of food would appear. Or go pretty much back in time by setting a scenario in a holodeck...in the military, soldiers could actually train for war by going through virtual combat that's as real as ever, besides that dieing part

Too bad I won't be around to mess with it

Knot read the Necroscope series by Brian Lumley.
It is about a guy named Harry that can conjure doors out of thin air using very advanced math. He uses the Mobius Continuim (sp). He does some equations in his head and conjures a door out of thin air he does some more math and creates another door on the other side of the world, instantinously.
He uses his ability to fight vampires only it is spelled whympires (I think that is how it is spelled).

I have read the series 3 times. It is a 7 part series and each book is over 300 pages.

If you get a chance read it. It is a very good story.

P.S. now I gotta go dig it out again. Thanks Knot

[Brainchild]

VR would be cool.

Computer! Chicago! 1930!
Subject: Mofia!

<female computer voice>Please wait captain, Thank you</voice>

Prolly be more like I set the wayback machine for.........

Or I'd be in a rerun of Back To The Future
But I will never see the 23rd century

[UUoodseifer]

Madness, You never know, my obtuse freinds, we may well see the 23rd century. UUho can and can't tell the future, not me, not you, not even machines.

UUe are not far from the future, In about 20 years, you can buy yourself a brand new "you" for a cool, $3,000,000, with the wayward of machines, who knows we may even be able to incorporate, persona, or memories into this, fruitfull yet, dangerous inevitability. You can partially tell a mans psyche by his contents of his HDD, One big Time piece if you like, one of those things you bury, hopefully to be dug up by someone in the near future.

On the subject of that, I would like to do that, buy myself a compact air-tight container to hold the following:-

10g of my blood,
Photo,
Hair piece,
Fingernail,
saliva,
seamen(frozen of course),
10minute verbal tape,
My fave pin-up girl (well),
And of course my trusty 80gig HDD.

Maybe this is lack lustre, egotistic and all the other things that a human shouldn't do, but what can I say, I am open minded.

To add, No I have not read any of the chronicles you have mentioned, I may just do that now.......

UUith the ongoing debate over chryogenics, UUe may UUell see the 23rd century, UUell, maybe not conciously, but conciousness is a totally different story yet again.

Regards,

P.S What would you like to see, knot head, brainchild korgul?????
