Epic Win
Last night, as I sat at my computer in our home office (aka "The Situation Room"), history was made.
But before we get to that--for those living somewhere other than planet earth--the obvious historic moment last night was that Barack Obama was elected president. It's more than a big deal. But it wasn't the only thing making history...
Did you see those holograms on CNN? They were crazy, as in crazy awesome. They were straight up "Help me, Obi Wan Kenobi"-awesome. Courtesy of thirty five HD cameras, a reporter in Chicago was having a live conversation with Wolf Blitzer in not-Chicago via hologram. My mind was sufficiently blown.
My understanding of global politics now leads me to one inevitable conclusion: A hologram race will room envelop the planet much like the space race of the 50's and 60's and the arms race of the Cold War. I guess we'll just have to trust Alaska to keep an eye on the Russian hologram program... What? Too soon?
