“The walls began to purr and recede into the crystalline distance…” (Bradbury 1)

i think that it is cool how he predicted Virtual Reality

him thinking the future stuff and he was thinking WOW what could it be. And its in our life time instead of his.

I wonder how the idea of this virtual reality room came to Ray Bradbury’s mind. The explanation of the room transferring from two dimensional to three dimensional. It’s kind of frightening to read about what someone thought our lifetime could be like and what could even happen in the next couple of years.

I think that it is so cool that Bradbury had created this concept so long ago, and in a fictional story! The description of the fictional VR room, and real VR rooms today, are uncanny! A blank room turning into Africa?! How cool is that?! Well, you may have to wear a headset these days, but it’s still super cool! This overall “future” thing moderately reminds me of The Simpsons for some reason?? Maybe because episodes some times predict the future ((President Trump)) haha.

The fact that lots of his predictions from 1950’s kind of did happen is so cool. All of his guess’s were actually really close for example the seashell radios and wrist radio is like a lot of apple’s technology that today a lot of people own and use daily.

I think its cool that he though of ATMs about 30 years before it happened.

His prediction was close because today helicopters have cameras on the front and the thing that came out was survallience cameras and basicly every where uses them.

I thought that it was really odd thinking that someone had a thought and wrote about it and then with time many people saw this thought and made it happen in the end. This is a lot like the google homes that literally turn your lights on for you and so much more! Overall, I just feel that it is so weird and interesting to think about all the things that people could be writing about now that could help us change what the world will be like.

I just think its crazy that we think of these things like ear buds they make our life 100%v easier but i would have never thought of that and we still use them a ton today.
