Nintendo Wii = The Matrix


So I had a thought the other day. The Nintendo Wii is really cool from what people tell me. As usual, Nintendo is trying to be the first gaming system to take the first step in virtual reality gaming. Now you can go bowling or hunting right from your living room. Who needs to go out when you've got great home theater systems and even tennis courts and fishing ponds right in your own house?

The gaming revolution will only get bigger and better. Soon, we'll have virtual reality glasses to put on and games will be in 3D. Then We'll be able to start smelling and feeling the worlds of our games. When you want to go bowling with friends in another state, you just hook up online in your virtual reality world.

Before you know it, the gaming world will overtake our own. You can live in a mansion in your virtual world. Why not? You can see it, feel it, smell it, design it, etc. And if that house is so much better than your own, why not live there, and add a feeding tube to your arm so you don't die from "playing" your game to long.

You see where this is going, don't you? Before long, we'll be living in the world of the Matrix--with all humans hooked up to virtual reality computers, living out our lives and forgetting about the real world behind us.

...and it's all because of the first pioneer steps of the Nintendo Wii.
