Lost in Space

The graphics and gameplay are so good these days. Especially if you played pong back in the day, as a comparison. Now, with online service available on the big screen, 3-D and the promise of better things to come; whats not to like as a gamer?  Most people expect even greater things but isn't there a threshold where the visual cortex cannot go past and the future will be repackaging of the social revolution of the computer and Xbox LIVE networking services? I consider the Kinect to be an evolution in gaming not a revolution in gaming.

Can't wait for the holographic interface, er wait; could humans get lost there? In virtual space? Probably, based on brain addiction studies and video gaming. Kids who spend a lot of time gaming have noticeably larger addiction centers in the brain. Similar to chemical addicts. I grew up without video games, so not sure if my brain is affected this way. But what about sports fans, anyone who is obsessed with something that gives them tremendous feedback surges in brain and body? Sports, cooking, movies, hang-gliding, certain causes, etc. Maybe we just need to balance body, mind and spirit.
