Future of games and technology alike.

I have gotten the EGM magazine recently, and it talked about the future of gaming. The whole thing is about 20-30 pages in it, and I did not take the time to read the whole thing, but I know what it is mainly saying. Here are some major things (IMO) that may happen.

1) Withing three years, a Mind Control helmet come out. It reads your brain to see how you are moving, it also sees how stressed out you are, what emotion (e.i. Anger, lust, happy, w/e.) you are experiencing.
2) Within the next two years, 100GB per SECOND internet connection becomes available.
3) The next ten years, about, holographs will come out.
4) WITHIN the next TWENTY years, VIRTUAL REALITY is OUT!

Now, as you all should know, I am a really enthusiastic gamer. My plan, is to make with-in the next twenty years, to make a virtual reality MMORPG. I may not make it, but oh well. With these things happening, I may be able to be a part of it. I am hoping so...

We've actually had these for quite some time now. Takes about an hour of training and you can play chess with your mind just by thinking. Pretty crazy, I'm sure the biggest burden is that all the money that went into the research is making the product cost a fortune, and anyone else wanting to go after it will have patent issues.

I'm rather excited for the coming years technologies. Just look at how much things have changed in the past ten years. And although I am interested in the gaming aspect, I'm more-so the computer in general. As far as work and other things.

It's all pretty crazy though, I mean just look. We have almost a complete invisible cape made already!

Well they also have said HD would be the only broadcast by 2000, then 2004, then 2008, now maybe by 2010. As for internet that one maybe possible but not everywhere. I believe South Korea and Japan have the lead right now offering 50Mb/s ~ 7MB/s for home service. Right now some of the fastest networks (for Internet backbone) is around 160Gb/s ~ 19GB/s (OC-3072) so it's certainly possible for Network speeds to reach 100GB/s in a couple of years, but likely not for personal use.

As for holograms, I know a lot of research has been done into holographic storage (not like you're thinking) as the future of Optical storage en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holographic_Versatile_Disc.

I know I really don't look forward to VR, as I think there is such as thing as too immersive.
