Beam me up! This is really something. Can we believe our eyes and ears anymore? Do we see what others see? Should we assume that others see what we see? I don't think we can assume this anymore.
When we sign up for certain types of music, the program profiles the user in order to create a music list that it thinks the user will like based upon past history. This means that each user is seeing a completely different list than another; that their world has become closed.
Cable television is working on similar technology, installing a sensor in the cable box which can tell who has walked in front of it, and will gear the programing to that person.
And as of last night, Nov. 4 CNN, is interviewing holograms! Except, they're not really holograms to those in the news room. The images are 2D, not 3D, but the person watching it from their living room doesn't know this, and may believe that the person is really there in front of the reporter. We are not seeing what the person in the newsroom is seeing. Soon, it may be, that everyone is seeing miracles and sublime things, while others don't.
And those that don't see the amazing images may be told that they don't have faith, don't believe, or haven't reached a heightened level of spirituality. This is amazing! Will Obama beam down from the White House for a Fireside Chat?
