Did you happen to catch the opening ceremony of the 2018 Winter Olympics a few days ago? They had 1,218 drones creating a spectacular performance of the Olympic rings and a snowboarder. The view was magnifying that drew you into the spectacle.
This amazing imagery had me thinking how the world could become with all this visual technology. With virtual reality coming soon to the mainstream and other new innovative ways to capture our attention such as this drone performance, we could get sucked into a make believe world without even knowing it.
This is over 1,200 drones!
Musical Performance Illusion
Many decades back music and performance, usually woman, was used to create a hypnotizing illusion to keep your attention. This was done to control you and get you do to what others wanted, such as being sold things.
This hypnotizing illusion is exactly what I thought about when I saw this drone performance. It was so intriguing that you could almost not look away, it was almost like you were in a game.
It is super cool to see technology advance and everything in general but this could create fantasy worlds that people get lost in.

Yes those are drones
Simulator Worlds
Often some of the smartest people speak about if we are already in a simulator or not. I am not sure about that but all this new technology has me thinking that we will create "simulator" type worlds or environments.
We will be caught up in all the beauty of the new technology and not even know what is going on in the real world or it could become so real that we can not tell the difference from reality and a simulated world. This could be problematic as companies could try to keep us in a make belief world to profit from our attention.
What do you think of living in a possible simulated world? Will this happen or even be possible??

It is interesting that you did this post today since I just finished watching Black Mirror and Altered Carbon on Netflix both are about the future world of technology and how it is just matter of fact and oh so disturbing. But on the serious note it does seem like we are like Blind Man walking allowing technology to slowly seep into your existance like pebbles that will I think eventually turn into a big stone if we do not recognize and control the difference between advancement and existance.
Now you have to remember I grow up going to Drive In movies and when they used subliminal messages in the popcorn commercials I thought that was so nasty. Times the are a changin. All about awareness and balance.
I just finished Altered Carbon, was very well done seemed like netflix gave them a nice budget too. The biggest take away from it though was that those with money and power will always be in control.
I don't know if you ever read the old book Animal Farm. It is a simplified version of all these new political futuristic films. I think it is those with money and power are most likely be the ones that destroy....which also comes along with control.
I read animal farm years ago.
I agree the ones with all the power have the ability to shape the world in their vision. Which could be worse from others perspective. But they are also the ones with the power to preserve and save it. I think there are more good people in the world than there are bad. So I'm not too concerned with what the future holds.
I agree with you totally. Well said.
I will have to watch those. It does seem we are casually walking towards this type of life... Scary in a way!
Realistic Virtual Reality is coming Matt. Times are moving faster than we can fathom, gotta keep up with the times or get lost within them.
Yea I agree!!
Cool pictures! Certainly great advances of technology making stimulation possible.
Yea it is interesting to ponder...
Nice pict @bitdollar
