The Future: A Look Back

If you enjoyed my coverage last month of the Futures of Entertainment Conference at MIT, heads up: The organizers are now putting videos of the sessions online. Henry Jenkins' opening talk is here, and the first panel, on the future of television, is here; to see the rest as they're posted, keep checking here.

In the future, the entire entertainment industry will be reduced to one product--an interactive, full-immersion virtual reality experience involving the libertarianally named Salma Hayek.

The words "entertainment" and "MIT" in the same sentence. That's some funny shit, right there.

Pro Libertate, that was one of my biggest complaints about Star Trek: The Next Generation. We all know that the holodeck would have been used for one purpose only...

Yes, DS9 was much more honest about that point. Of course, once holodeck technology is perfected, no one will leave their house, and humanity will come to a sad, albeit pleasurable, end.

And humanity will be ready to be enslaved by my invading hordes of supermen!
