My Evolution Theory of Video Games and Music

Music started off with the most primitive instruments consisting probably of sticks and rocks.
Slowly, into more sophisticated instruments like the piano or saxophone.
Guitars turned into electric guitars, and pianos turned into keyboards- our first step into the digital world of music.
Then came techno and now our latest craze of dub step and EDM.

Are we slowly forgetting our instruments and going entirely into computers?

Video games started off as what? 4bit? 8bit? Slowly progressing into 16bit and 32bit. Slowly 3D.
Now our graphics are so much superior. With virtual reality it's almost impossible to differentiate between reality and it's virtual counterpart.
And isn't that's where we want to head? Into reality?
The movie 'Gamer' directed by Brian Taylor and Mark Nevaldine speaks of just this, except in a much darker way. This movie introduces the concept of using real people, in the real world as bates and characters to be controlled, like a video game, by other people.
These human bates are paid a lot of money to be a part of this; the 'gamers' pay a lot for such a game.

Are we slowly turning virtual reality into reality? Walking from the computer to the real world?


Okay so here's my theory:
As music slowly becomes completely computer generated, video games slowly become real.

She

She is beautiful.
She is independent.
She is head strong. The strongest I know.

She is focused.
She is intelligent.
She is honest. Brutally honest.

She is fearless.
She believes in action.
She can achieve the impossible.

She brings out the best in me, even if that means insulting me, and making me feel miserable.
But she knows, and I know, that the only way to reshape me is to break me and recast me from the mould.

I trust her.
I love her.
I will learn from her.

I need her more than she knows.

She is my idol. 
She is my soul mate.
She is my miracle.
