ah, ok that makes sense so speaking of star trek getting it right, when do you think we'll have a working holodeck?

edit: I for some reason just actually thought briefly about how it would be accomplished. Then I came to this question: Wouldn't it simply be easier to some how interface with the brain to simulate the input from our senses, rather than some how create malleable holograms? (like the matrix)

Further edit: Would I ever want to leave that world? Would it be similar to the difference between a meaningful relationship and paying for a hooker?
