Hello, Mr. Anderson

This is so awesome and scary at the same time I'm kind of lost as to what to think:



Entertainment Weekly highlights the hidden agenda of our new A.I. overlords:

With inventions such as Natal, we're quickly approaching a future in which humans can partake in a virtual experience that's nearly indistinguishable from the real thing. And then we'll be faced with intriguing decisions: If a skateboarding video game requires the same body movements as actual skateboarding, why not simply go outside and ride a skateboard? If you can have authentic conversations with a virtual person, will you choose to do so -- possibly at the expense of your true relationships?
