RE: City Talk

in #art7 years ago

What a cool idea and art you made!
A city can be virtual for SURE! SimCity (I think that was the name of the game) already allowed building virtual cities back in the days (90s last century). Second Life was another very interesting twist to build a new city/country/planet more or less. We are now also building a city right here at Steemit, although we do not have the visuals as in the formerly mentioned services/games. Maybe something to add to Steemit? :) With Virtual Reality we are gonna build even more virtual cities, virtual countries, planet and universes even! Hahahaha, and then we want also virtual art to make our lives in those virtual reality world pleasant! :)

Ahh I remember SimCity- the early version. Games on Steemit may be a dangerous thing- we might never leave the house again!
Thank you for your awesome comment.

Steemit will be integrated with VR glasses and at some point in time directly beamed into you brains. But before we are there, there is also Augmented Reality. That is an overlay on visual view. We can mix Steemit with our visual view and be connected to Steemit all the time without the need to stay in house or whatever. Just wear some glasses. Also, we can have a voice frontend to Steemit, and some holographic projection device for the visuals. All mobile off course so we can walk and run around :)

Nut keep in mind: Second Life was/is not a game. At some point in time companies and governments where opening their stores and desks. It had the potential to become a different way of connecting with each other. Maybe the early version of a virtual reality worlds that we will gonna see in the future.

My friend had a job interview via Second Life. It seemed crazy to me at the time but now I can see this becoming the norm in long distant recruiting.
I'm not so sure about having things beamed into my brain though- i like to go tech free for a big part of my day.

Technology will make all of it able. Even downloading our brains, I;m sure we will be able to do that, maybe 30 to 50 to 70 years from now. But we will be able to do that at some point in time, I'm very convinced.

Johnny mnemonic style. But what if we go too far and we all turn into memory sticks like Scarlett Johansson in Lucy?

We will! Technology cannot be stopped :) Robocop will happen. Memory sticks will happen. Eternal life will therefore be possible. When we have a delete button and also allowed to delete all copies, than we may be able to end out lives.
