Have you ever walked out of a movie theater and for the next couple of days feel and act like the star? The same phenomenon can happen while watching television or reading a book. We just seem to be them for a while. |
As entertainment technology becomes more advanced it will help us get closer and closer to each other and learn more about what consciousness actually is. Once the brain is connected to computers we will learn how to go inside of one another, which will change entertainment radically. |
Once we invent the technologies that will allow us to experience what another's consciousness is like (by living inside of it with them), one of the greatest mysteries of all time will be solved; what it is like to be another. A closer look at the history of entertainment will reveal that this is just what has beenhappening all along; get closer and closer to what "another" experiences. This, perhaps, to comfort us when we realise that we are isolated within our own personal perceptual spaces. |
Entertainment will be completely turned around. Our position as observers while being entertained will be changed in a way that we see things from the actors eyes and more importanly, from their experience. We will no longer have to try and figure out what is going on in the protagonist's mind because this phenomenon will become the major part of the show. This will make going to the show an experience of the other's reality. |
What happens when we enjoy a show? We identify with the main character and try to feel like he or she does. We are cast into the actors head and look out as he or she goes through unique life experiences. If we are setting in a theater watching the main character move along and then something drastic happens we may jump in our seat. We sometimes even feel like we are the acter. Researchers have noted that our hormones fluctuate wildly when certain events are portrayed that arouse us. |
Once people can read each other's minds, with human made technologies, this movie going experience will become like real life. We will see through the actor's eyes, ears, feel our bodies temperature go up and down, blood preasure fluctuate, adrenalin vary, or about any sensation imaginable. We will hear the actor's thoughts, have their run, as if they were our own thoughts. We will literally become beside ourselves. |
Even emotions will be broadcast from the actor's brain to our brains. We will have to have some sort of intensity adjuster since each person has to be able to choose his or her sensitivity level to action or emotional scenes. Levels of pain and bodily sensation will become contraversial portions of the buisiness. Laws will come about dictating just how far these natural tendencies can be exploited for the sake of an entertainmet production. |
Actors will have to go through an entirely different approach than they do now. Now the camera is only points at the actors and shows what their bodies are going through, but soon it will point into their minds. Stars now can think things while portraying a character that are not in line with the production. This will change and there will not be room for a single thought (out of charater). All thoughts will have to comform completely with the script. |
Watching movies, and other forms of entertainment from inside of the acters head will become a learning tool in how to experience emotion, fear, quick thinking. and many things that are hard to teach now. This will not only help us learn what it is like to be human but also to be another human. |
Hopefully profesional entertainment will continue since, then, going inside your neighbors head could be just as entertaining as the biggest Hollywood production. When communicating with a stranger can be as intense as any action thrilla what shape might the entertainment industry take? |
People could download the impulses from the movie onto their onboard computers and could, at any time, feel like they are the actor going through 'their' daily life. Havining a bad day? - simply adjust your moods so that you feel any way you want. |
Remote control of objects and other people who are willing, will allow us to not only be in someone elses head but also to control their bodies @ the remote location. The stage play could come back in style in a big way. If the audience choose the actions acters next perform. they would become sort of like puppets. Of course we should beware of the new opportunities for crime. |
