Was That a Real Hologram on CNN? | LiveScience

 

It might not be a true hologram like it would be from R2D2, but showing what they did on CNN during the election coverage does show that we have or will have the ability to one day have a true hologram in the future.

It is amazing to me that critics can destroy something so wonderful as technology and even science.  I remember reading that so many believe that the telephone, when it first came out, would end in a short lived defeat.  The telephone not only grew, but we have cordless telephones, cell phones, satellite phone, the Internet, Skype (which is an online voice communication), and all the rest.

The practicality of having a true holographic system can be very useful then having some ball game in your living room.  Just about all forms of life could benefit from holographic communications.  Who would think that the Internet would be so vastly used in the early 1990s?  Social media is a biggest thing going on today online.  How websites are being created has changed completely.

The technology we have in the 1980s is every so ancient.   Who uses a Commodore 64 computer these days?  Even the 8-bit video games that was a smash hit in those days are no longer considered an idea in how games are being played today.  Technology has been evolving every since.  Now we have the means to one day have a true holographic image that all will be able to use in any way they want to.

Yes, right now it is very, very expensive to use.  Remember how much the first PC cost?  Computer now can do far, far more then they did at a very much lower cost.  If the price staid the same on how much it cost to make a computer, I would say it would be over $10,000 to buy a computer today.  If you count how fast computers today can run, the quality of the video card, the sound card, and every thing else that makes a computer today, it would cost that much if not more.

Now that we have a very crude form of holographic imagery, engineers can constantly improve on it.  Surely no one will want to use 35 High Definition cameras.  With newer technology, I am sure much less camera usage will acceptable.  I would not be surprised that engineers will have it all up and running before I die.

Think about it.  Having true 3D images of what is out there in our solar system projected anywhere on Earth in real time.  Through the Internet to day, we can see any part of the world right now our computer in real time.  With science and human endeavor, anything can be possible.  We already have the means.  Now it needs to be a reality.
