this is even closer to the technology envisioned (probably not for the first time) in the 1997 science fiction series earth: final conflict conceived by gene roddenberry, albeit much richer in context. i've been unsuccessfully searching for an image of lili marquette's interface with her shuttle... i'll edit this post if i find one.
i don't know if people are blown away with these developments. i've got two coexisting attitudes: of course, enthusiasm -- but also, impatience. having a long-time interest in science fiction, i keep wondering what's taking them so long....
a few years ago, someone said to me something that is very wise: that technology may help our species progress towards a more spiritual existence. he was correct... it is -- not in a religious sense -- but based on the wonder of reality.
