Jesus.  That is the future.  We worry about how over population will eventually affect spacing on the Earth.  Just imagine how much space can be save with Portable Holographic Switches!  Switches for basic things like house lights like they said.  That's insane.

you're on the wrong track.

In the future. Most people will prefer a virtual holographic partner and won't be worrying about reproduction.

Imagine that, you can have sex with anyone, at your command. You'll never leave your home, ever. Unless your system broke.

 

Actually, I'm not sure if you were just joking about that, but I think you're completely right about that.  I think cutting edge technology, though not technology in general, always risks a significant portion of society turning into individualistic gluttons.  I wonder if portable imaginary sex will breach the limits though.

As for people thinking Nintendo may not pursure this with their next console... I honestly don't know.  They have not released any recent information about the heartbeat sensor thing that you put on your finger (what the hell was it called again?).  If they seriously want to take hardware that far, then maybe physical realistic holograms are not out of the question.  Now tha I mentioned the finger sensor, and of course there is the wii fit board, it would be even less suprising if they just made it a hardware peripheral.  If they can put a wii fit board at below 100 hundred dollars and make it have successful software, they could very well do the same for this hologram technology.
