    Me: no robots, no VR, no weird tech life, period. The older I get, the more I just want to see nature and read good books.

    I've just loved all the "techie" stuff my entire life. I guess that's why I liked the Air Force so much and enjoyed working on avionics instruments and flight controls on the F-16. But I know what you mean about nature, Abby, I like that too, that's why I live in a little back woods town where the woods is virtually a short walk away. I can't stand cities.

    I'd love to work on a STAR SHIP too though... or FLY one... and you can do that in VR...

    Sad part is - most of us live virtually in some ways or others. We virtually love those around us - until those people anger or hurt us. We virtually connect with "friends". The parallels are obvious.


    I'm eager to try out the tech - thanks to probably the porn industry for driving-down costs and driving-up the tech!
    “… the greatest detractor from high performance is fear: fear that you are not prepared, fear that you are in over your head, fear that you are not worthy, and ultimately, fear of failure. If you can eliminate that fear—not through arrogance or just wishing difficulties away, but through hard work and preparation—you will put yourself in an incredibly powerful position to take on the challenges you face" - Pete Carroll.

    I gotta say, I want something like that badly! But hell, I haven't even been able to see/text one yet, so I wouldn't even have a clue on what to buy. Everywhere you go that has anything, you can't test. I still only have the S5 but would upgrade in a heartbeat if I knew what to do, and what I needed! I wouldn't mind starting off cheap, the way where you can only see, this way I can mess with that for a tad and see if I like it.

Need I say more?” - Chris Rock

    Your town sounds lovely.

    And so does the Starship!
