Reality, unreality and life.

11:36 am Stuff

Reality just keeps getting more unrealistic doesn’t it. What was reality yesterday is not reality today. What was science fiction 30 years ago is now reality today. Funny isn’t it how much things change and we don’t even realize it.

The Dick Tracy writst radio is now more than reality. Cell phones are real. Satellites were once considered an impossibility and now we can’t live without them. We went from one case of unreality to another case of unreality yet both cases are totally real.

Somedays it really gets confusing trying to figure out what’s real and what isn’t. Now, even things you can see don’t mean they are real. You can’t trust your eyes nor your ears anymore. This is going to sound a bit funny but TV isn’t even real anymore.

Say what? TV isn’t real? Lol, no, not that reality, the reality that all the backgrounds and charachtors were real people and real backgrounds. Now you can use a green screen and just have live actors that never leave the studio. Sanctuary on the SCiFi channel is not real at all, except for the actors. The rest is just played out on a green screen.

Computers are so good at making things look real that now you can’t even tell if the people in the movies are rel or computer generated. MOF, my Xbox golf looks more real than when I’m watching live golf on TV. Sheesh.

You can read more about reality and unreality at this mind blog. Just because you can see it or hear it doesn’t make it real. Just because you hear it on the news doesn’t mean it’s real and even if you are an eyewitness doesn’t mean you really saw what happened.

The reality is nothing is as it seems anymore. Unreality is becoming more real and reality is becoming more unreal.  When holograms get more feasible it’s going to be even harder to tell reality from false reality. Lol, with the proper holograms you’d never have to paint or hang pictures on your walls. It would just all be there as you programmed it.

Yes, that would be pretty cool and it’s a lot closer than you think. Do you know reality when you see it? Truth is I doubt you do.
