i believe that the internet has really paved a new way for the multimedia scene, especially for the broadcasting of information and gaming. but i think the most interesting part about all this was when the videos on microsoft's project natal was shown.
i think the video demonstrations of the project natal thing was really jaw dropping and mind blowing. it looked like something out of a sci-fi movie. at first it was really cool, to see the capabilities of it, especially the one about the boy named milo. the realism of the virtual character and the almost life-like interaction really blurred the lines between virtual and real. however, after a while, i realised that this was actually a bit creepy. as much as it is very cool, i think it is weird, and somewhat scary to have a virtual character react and respond to your actions and words. when i showed this video to my parents, they also had a somewhat similar response.
with artificial intelligence becoming even more advanced, i somehow don't really enjoy the picture of us talking to televisions, refridgerators and lamps. after all, the woman was actually just talking to a television right?

But it would be damn cool if we could totally immerse ourselves in the gaming experience rite?
Also, i think talking to fridges, tvs, PCs would be alright... as long as they don't try to take over the world!
