Videogames: The wave of the future

Remember when Spore looked good?

And it was going to change the face of videogames forever?

Well, that didn't turn out so accurate, but most of the things in this article are still quite possible, and got me thinking about how the vidyagajms are going to explode all dimensions of time, space and money probably within 30 years. Heck, we have no idea how the world is going to look ten years from now. Maybe not even five.

All we really need is some kind of automated energy generation, I'm thinking either something like Transmetropolitan where Mercury is covered in solar panels or zero point energy, and when we have nanocomputers building each other blanketing the world and streaming a developing mesh of full sensory immersion games procedurally created according to our moods and whims into our brains, I hesitate to call it games or even software, it'll be some synthesis of computer and man; that'll be the end of the world as we know it. Dreams and reality will be completely interchangible, up will become down, something will come from nothing, and we will turn into bodiless superluminal creatures and play forever in the fields of fucking intergalactic paradise.

I have seen the shape of the technological singularity, and I am not afraid.
