Check out this video. It's pretty cool. Someone else posted it in another forum and I had to share it because it's one of those "wait, what?" moments where you realize just how far technology has come.



It's wild what people are doing now. I mean, we've gone from "can it run Doom?" as a joke to... well... this. Not exactly warp drive yet, but we're definitely not in Kansas anymore either.

Of course, I'm still waiting on the important stuff. Flying cars. Warp engines. Transporters. Although, let's be honest, I'm not sure I'd actually step into a transporter. Something about getting disassembled down to the atomic level and reassembled somewhere else just screams "there's a non-zero chance this goes horribly wrong." I've seen enough Star Trek to know better. Is it really "me" that steps off the transporter pad at the end?

The funny part is, this whole thing reminded me of the game my son and I used to play when he was little. Yeah, I know. Great parenting. Letting my five-year-old play Doom with me. But hey, it was quality bonding time. I used to "camp" and then shoot him when he least expected it. Ahh... memories.

Apparently now we've got neuro-technology trying to do the same thing. Somewhere, a scientist is basically recreating my living room from 20 years ago, just with a lot more PhDs involved.

Anyway, give the video a watch. It's one of those things that makes you laugh, then think, then maybe laugh again because we're living in a world where this is actually real. I know when I watched this video, I laughed. My wife laughed. The toaster laughed. I shot the toaster...
