In the future...there will be pizza

I have been apart of two conversations in which Epley stated he has made poor predictions as far as what people will buy into. His example was camera phones. People bought them so much it is hard to find a phone without a camera on it. The difference between sending a poor quality image of your cleavage to your boyfriend and goggling into the metaverse is the magnitude of imagination separating the two. The simulated world of Snow Crash isn’t real yet, but it’s still a fascination that is bringing people to develop new shit to keep people from shitting until they die. The reality is that in small insignificant ideas such as camera phones there is the same progressive instinct as with “cyberpunk” novels, a push for more. Technological advances will not slow down because there is no demand for it to. People like “new”, that’s why there will never not be newer and more complex ways to become a cyber-samurai or a low grade porn star.
