Our society is changing at such a rapid rate, I’m hoping we’ll be able to keep up. I saw a video promoting Windows 8.

I was really considering moving up to Windows 7 (still on XP…hated Vista) because of all the great things people have to say about it. But watching the promo for “8″ I got this overwhelming feeling of deja vu.

In junior high (sooo many years ago) I read Marshall McCluen’s “The Medium is the Message”, where I was first introduced to the theory of holograms. Then, in later years, I saw what he was talking about in movies (I love movies), and television shows, and now on PC’s. Superman showed a hologram where Lex Luthor was playing chess in his cell room, but had really escaped. Then Ahhnold’s “Total Recall, had a scene where a holograph was used to fool his enemy; Tom Cruise’s Minority Report showed us files shown suspended in the air and Tom could peruse the files in a virtual office, and the same setup used again in NCIS LA by LL Cool J. At last, our PC’s have caught up. Taking a hint from the I-Pad, we can now expand, move and open via the touch screen.

It’s enough to make a guy feel old! (As if my own body doesn’t remind me on a daily basis).  Now where did I put my abacus?
