Technology and Dreams
Occasionally — rarely — my dreams take the form of animated cartoons. One, for example, had a tiny airplane flying through a museum. I'm sure animated cartoon dreams occur to people all the time, though I daresay that before cartoons were invented they never did. Which brings me to 3D technology. 3D movies give me a headache. I have no interest whatsoever in gangrel 3D television, though I note that manufacturers are racing frantically to bring such sets to market. At some point, like it or not, 3D moving images probably will become ubiquitous. So I wonder: will peoples' brains adapt and dream in 3D? Do some people already dream in 3D? I've never heard of such a thing, but why not? We see in 3D. Just asking.

Do we not dream in 3D now, George? I've never even considered that I don't.
Who dreams of flat surfaces and worlds without depth or substance?
Conservatives, I presume... ;P

My new wish book from an online electronics retailer had several pages of these new 3-D televisions with a number of sets of 3-D goggles included.
The television show Caprica took its model from this miniseries by Oliver Stone:

It's one of my favorites to which I return from time to time for its operatic performance by Angie Dickinson. Television has never seen anything like this.
One of the main tech devices was holographic goggles.
