A man didn’t understand how televisions work, and was convinced that there must be lots of little men inside the box. manipulating images at high speed. An engineer explained to him about high frequency modulations of the electromagnetic spectrum, about transmitters and receivers, about amplifiers and cathode ray tubes, about scan lines moving across and down a phosphorescent screen. The man listened to the engineer with careful attention, nodding his head at every step of the argument. At the end he pronounced himself satisfied. He really did now understand how televisions work. “But I expect there are just a few little men in there, aren’t there?”I feel much like the man in the parable (a favorite of Douglas Adams). I know the technology exists. I even have a rough understanding of the science. Maybe it's a sign of age, but I just do not believe that this thing will work as advertised:

So it's a game system for mimes?
ReplyDeleteOr College Kids ...
ReplyDeleteIf you had enough money, you could have a gaming system that would rival some sci-fi movies.
ReplyDeleteTechnology is amazing, just ask Remmy.
He actually texted me from HOLLAND the other day ! While driving a taxi cab no less !
I can't wait for that YOUTUBE encounter.
LOL
REMMY - SAY HELLO ON THE BLOGS !!!! :)
Mr. SMILES - - - - This System would not work for you unfortunately. I did some research and discovered that people with Alien Heads cannot play games like this.
Likewise, Messiah Complex would have much difficulty due to the sharpness of his noggin.
Matty's head was so large they recommended using the gaming system outdoors in a larger envinronment.... and my head was too small, they said I needed to press my face against the glass to be close enough.
Plucky confused the shit out of the game by blowing steady clouds of perubian fun at it, and singing while he attempted to game.
Maug repeatedly called Microsoft and told them he could make the game better, so they banned him for life.
Which leaves us with Frisky, and Andy or course... who were banned from the gaming system for life, because they were mounting each other during gameplay which caused a system crash and angered Microsoft.
microsoft r a bunch of whiners we found the only fun way to enjoy the game.
