Careful folks, I have an feeling this could be the mark of the beast. 'To recieve a mark on your right hand or forhead' first smart phones in our hands and now glasses on our forhead. Might be something to seriously consider.
It's a strange new world we're heading into.
Where did you come from? The 1300's?
(John 3:19)
19"This is the judgment, that the Light has come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the Light, for their deeds were evil. 20"For everyone who does evil hates the Light, and does not come to the Light for fear that his deeds will be exposed.…
Augmented reality? Like Second Life with glasses so you can sink even further into it? Really? Talk about giving up on humans and humanity and nature.
What are your thoughts my ATS brethren?
I agree with you that there are MANY people starving across the world but technological progress will march on regardless
I am one of the thousands of developers for them, and I have one
I think tech is going to evolve faster than we can keep up with.
"HOLY CRAP!! This is awesome!!"
Its going to be a very merry Christmas
Please, lets not derail the thread into something not even remotely connected.
AR is going to take over and the implications of use are virtually (no pun intended) endless
One step closer to the movie "Surrogates" coming true.

i agree with what the other person said (not you) and assure you, neither of us came from the 1300's..
we get an insight into your thought processes here as that date is actually a veiled reference to the dark ages
the info he & others (and myself) are trying to bring here is actually from an earlier time when light already came into the world.
(John 3:19)
19"This is the judgment, that the Light has come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the Light, for their deeds were evil. 20"For everyone who does evil hates the Light, and does not come to the Light for fear that his deeds will be exposed.…
i think it's a shame people can't put all this together, even as a parable;
light allows us to see,and when we see a "fat person" walking down the street eating a whole pizza by themselves, we are able to make a judgement on that.(perhaps i should've said that another way) when we see a person running, wearing a balaclava, holding a sack with a dollar sign on it, with angry people in pursuit, perhaps wearing blue uniforms we are able to make a judgment on that.
(all from our eyes, and light.. and this is "normal " and what we've been doing for thousands of years)
"deeds exposed" is the same as these people who are ashamed of their "normal" bodies and desire to "augment" them with fake graphics.. (this can only work when we're all on the same playing field, I'll get to that further below)
~Lucidity certainly seems to "get it"
Augmented reality? Like Second Life with glasses so you can sink even further into it? Really? Talk about giving up on humans and humanity and nature.
the OP assumes too much;
What are your thoughts my ATS brethren?
you already owe me 'cookies' for wrongly assuming i was within reach of a smartphone,
and i'm certainly not your "brother" either, brothers have the same father.. i'm fairly certain you are under a completely different influence..
a general reply to anyone who might be interested, this pic' was posted for a reason..
we are that gorilla ..using a technology we don't understand.
the gorilla is just fascinated by all the noise.
it's not as though i'm a luddite, after all, i'm using a computer to type this on the internet.
if nothing else i've typed here makes sense, please consider the following,(a completely different influence..)
i mentioned back there, "half the world is starving and can't even get a job"
but all the OP can manage to say is things like this;
I agree with you that there are MANY people starving across the world but technological progress will march on regardless
(probably because)
I am one of the thousands of developers for them, and I have one
(note how he/she's poking his/her tongue out at us there? children do that to tease other children)
it troubles me because the OP has already stated;
I think tech is going to evolve faster than we can keep up with.
and he/she seems to be fine with all that??
i think the OP enjoys being on a slightly higher tier but fails to realize he/she will be subjected to it like the rest of us.
(should i just assume a tall texxxan is a male? ..despite what you may think of my contribution here, i don't like to assume things, as another member here stated "I've been around this stuff a very long time", long enough to know what i'm talking about)
i already pointed out the encodings in this one;
"HOLY CRAP!! This is awesome!!"
Its going to be a very merry Christmas
then TheProphetMark pointed out how this is likely the precursor to the mark of the beast, this was the response; (a complete dismissal, no surprises there)
Please, lets not derail the thread into something not even remotely connected.
perhaps the OP is not aware of the content embedded in his/her own speech, but I AM
it's hard to say for sure as he/she was certainly aware of the pun below, but seems to have included another encoding which i've highlighted with bold text;
AR is going to take over and the implications of use are virtually (no pun intended) endless
make of all that what you will.
take out the "religious garbage" of what i'm saying, and we are still left with a person who has lousy morals, in my opinion.
is going to take over;
all this AR is to be expanded into 'Actual Reality' (funnily enough, tron:legacy was just playing on the TV, that's pretty much what i'm getting at.. now the movie "one missed call" is playing on the TV, there was a scene just now where a man is saying "spiritual phenomena is the same as electrical phenomena.. i don't make this stuff up, folks)
don't sass me for using movies as examples here, even if you can't factor-in that last 'spiritual' reference (of what is coming)
as the OP has already stated;
One step closer to the movie "Surrogates" coming true.
and noone seems to have a problem with the OP saying that.
what people might not be "getting" is how the notion of 'bodies as avatars' is not as new as they might think. they're already using their body as an avatar (there's an insight into that 'spiritual' reference yet again)
back to that same playing field i mentioned earlier in this post,
the first interpretation is this- when we are all poor, starving, demoralized, emaciated, jobless & sick of "reality" (all this augmented reality will seem like a desirable escape, a way out)
the second interpretation is this- please do a search on "touchable holograms" and verify that (some of) the components required for this are barium/strontium/etc, then do a search about those substances, and where they can come from, and if they are currently being dispersed in our atmosphere. (this affects us all, and levels the playing field)
i wouldn't waste my time and your time, dear reader, if i didn't put stock into what i was saying, i can only hope and pray that all this doesn't fall on deaf ears..
for anyone who understoods ALL of this and more, i'll ask you, what's the atmosphere of saturn said to be like?
because my father is the Lord
20The young man said to Him, "All these things I have kept; what am I still lacking?" 21Jesus said to him, "If you wish to be complete, go and sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow Me." 22But when the young man heard this statement, he went away grieving; for he was one who owned much property.…
13Then Moses said to God, "Behold, I am going to the sons of Israel, and I will say to them, 'The God of your fathers has sent me to you.' Now they may say to me, 'What is His name?' What shall I say to them?" 14God said to Moses, "I AM WHO I AM"; and He said, "Thus you shall say to the sons of Israel, 'I AM has sent me to you.'"

Yeah, the roads are gonna become minefields I bet. I think if this ever becomes widespread and mainstream, I will be forced to give up driving my motorcycle. Dangerous enough as it is when idiots can't talk and drive at once, I see it get 100000% worse when there is visual distractions. "Ooops, my bad, sorry for running you over. That icon popped up and startled me so I swerved a bit"

yeah somehow i don't think so..
matthew 19:20 (The Rich Young Man)
20The young man said to Him, "All these things I have kept; what am I still lacking?" 21Jesus said to him, "If you wish to be complete, go and sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow Me." 22But when the young man heard this statement, he went away grieving; for he was one who owned much property
i'll let you figure out that saturn bit on your own..
Well you would be partially right, as I don't accept conventional Christianity but I still believe in the One awesome creator. And BTW I'm a very poor young man. I've had to FIGHT for everything I have. (which is good amount in 2014 terms) For you to assume that I am a "rich young man" is quite the insult. So I would appreciate if you kept your words to the things that you know. I volunteer much of my time not only to the homeless but to other people in my life to which have not been so blessed.
You speak as a true Christian .........self righteous....... and disgusting.
My mother in- law is also a "true" Christian. She travels all around the world with missions and then when her own son (not me) has a heavy drug addiction, she treats him as a leper. yeah, God in his finest hour. Not saying this is you, just saying my experience thus far in this life.edit on 8-4-2014 by Talltexxxan because: (no reason given)
