| the-pi-guy said: How is it not about the experience? @bold, I'm less certain of that. Consider what would be required. Either A.) plugging something into the brain, B.) drugs, C.) perhaps sending waves into the brain. B and C could be very dangerous, and A could be dangerous in different ways. |
Actually using a screen so close to the eyes would have been crazy dangerous for play sessions of 1-2 hours 20 years ago too !
C is possible by putting the device Up the spinal cord, so that it get the electrmagnetic waves from nerves donc the spine (moves) and send electromagnetic waves limited to the reptilian part of the brain (senses, no touching emotions or thinking) and controlling the strength of sent electromagnetic waves on hardware directly. Thus certified hardware would be deemed as safe from frying brains. (wishful thinking than science here lol)
The biggest issue for this kind of future is people being affraid of "plugging" their brains. Transhumanism scares a lot of people already, including cllever people like Stephen Hawking or Bill Gates. This fear is mostly based on speculative fiction though.
