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.

Ha ha. Love the irony. :p Glad to see you write again. :)
ReplyDeleteIsn't that an observation more than a theory?
