Im pretty sure it will happen in my life time. and i have thought of how awesome it would be if things like Star treks holodeck( is that what its called??) where a reality.
It's closer than i thought cuz I saw this show on sci fi channel last month i think it was scifi, anyways it was about how star trek spawned off a lot of ideas to make things. like the guy that made the ipod got the idea from star trek. And the modern flip cell phone and GPS was from a star trek fan. anyways one of the inventors some American guy that made millions of dollars is now trying to make the Holodeck reality. awesome eh? wish i knew that guys name and how far along before he has a finished product.
