9. Full Immersion
If someone said to me “for just x amount of pounds, we’ll drill through your skull and place a port in your brain which allows for the full immersion of your consciousness into a gaming world, a’la The Matrix”, my first response would be to consider the location of the nearest cashpoint.
The Sci-Fi genre has hinted at full immersion just that little bit too much for it not be on the cards at some point in the distant future and despite the clear and present risks of allowing some video games pusher to fiddle with your grey matter, I don’t think I’d be the only one in the queue for the operation.

I actually quite liked ODST :(
Tupac’s hologram was a projected image on a stretched out transparent film. Not a real hologram, just the appearance of one.
^ This. Yet he criticizes today’s 3D technology for the same thing.
Great article.
No. 7 is nowhere near outlandish though which you kind of addressed. The eventual phasing out of all physical items is a process that’s already stomping along. Digital content by way of DRM are a win/win for companies if they can keep the hackers at bay.
Keep them at least enough that they are still earning quite the bit of proffit.
