21st Century Living; A.K.A. Al Gore Visits You Holograpically

Every once in a while I read something or see something on the televisor device that reminds me I made it to the world of the future.

Al Gore's introduction to his 'Live Earth' concert is one of those things.  When you hear a politician stiffly address you with the words "Hello, I am speaking to you in Holographic Form" you know we've crossed some kind of crazy techno Rubicon.  Except for jet-packs and moon bases the future's finally arrived. 

I'm just waiting for the robots to turn on their masters.

OK so Gore is still a little wooden (some things never change!) but the work he has done as an environmental campaigner is truly admirable. Many people still doubt climate change exists although the scientific community agrees on the fact. To do something about it people have to exert pressure on the politicians, hopefully through high profile campaigns such as Live Earth people will now exert this pressure.

I agree completely 'seriousaboutpolitics' - this post is not an attack on 'Holographic Gore' - am just giving people a taste of what's it like living in our world of the future - today.

I'd like to add two things to this post:

1) Al Gore invented the 'hologram'.
2) From the introduction, it appears Mr. Gore has also changed his name to the more futurisitc sounding 'Algore'.

wow, he should run for president again but this time as a hologram, delivering these kind of speeches. He could rule the world!

I wonder what kind of AlGorithms they use to create those holograms.

Boom tish. I'm here all week.
