Future Shock at Chicago Airport
Submitted by will on Thu, 03/01/2007 - 9:43amScary moment in the Chicago airport: video of my encounter with the future. Think first of all about the wall screen monitor tech getting to the point where the lighting and detail and resolution is better than the best desktop computer. Then imagine the wall screen is even bigger, wrapping around and even on the floor, surfaces of desks, etc. Now add motion sensor technology to the touch screen. Two-way full video audio transmission with extremely high quality directional surround microphones and speakers, with voice recognition for any software interface. Drop the price down to affordable for everyone (remember how expensive cell phones used to be ).
Oh, and it's all controlled by corporate military capitalism.
Arriving in 5 years or less.
Ghost in the shell.
Replace your body with a super enhanced cyborg body that is also owned and monitored by the government military complex. Anyone? Anyone?
