If I was a millionaire…

I would stop this from happening. No doubt the world will be completely digital, the scary part for me is that eventually everyone would rather be living in a virtual world rather than their actual lives.

Has anyone ever seen the movie “The Lawn Mower Man“? It is basically the same idea only it’s a movie from the 90’s so the graphics are a little subjective. The point is we are moving in this direction and it’s scary. I wouldn’t be surprised if in 20, heck 10 years from now we had the technology for this. Selling memories to each other for one another to experience.

The problem that I see with that is, what happens in 50 years from now when people don’t have any memories but someone elses, they won’t be able to trade for an original memory because they will be completely based upon other peoples memories… you see what I mean, confusing and scary stuff.

Even if we have this technology before I die, which I’m sure we will as I’m only 24, I don’t think I would participate in something like this. If I want to take a vacation I’m going to physically go there, I’m not going to live someone else’s memory of their vacation. Unless of course this person’s wife was smoking hot… kidding!

Would you take part in virtual reality memory trading?
