Ok so if you read the previous post, you might realize that IF you
create Veldt and it is your private study. in time you will be kissing
your family goodbye.

Unless you choose a partner who can spend endless hours in there with
you doing the same things you like, be that hunting dinsoaurs, or
talking about relationships.

And then you better agree on the wallpaper and drapes in there as well
because there will not be broadcast networks deciding for you what is
family entertainment and what should you be watching according to
'programming schedules' which are engineered not to take you away from
your work life as a plumber or street sweeper or doctor or pilot etc.
And the content is rated for family values, and designed to maintain
social structures.

So the best solution besides making sure your partner in life likes the
same things as you do in your Veldt, is to make the Veldt a part of your
house by taking holography out of your private study and incorporating
it into your house in the way of programmable fixtures, paintings that
change, sculpture that changes, flowerpots that morph, butlers that can
talk, your own personal assistants that can help you prepare for your
day, your real day, where you have to shower, eat, have your coffee and
actually go outside unlike the movie Surrogates, that I mentioned in
this thread.

You will need to be conscious of the fact that if you make wonderland
your study, you will want to be in there all the time.

You can do what a lot of people are doing these days, and just have a
pet dog. A girl needs a man like a fish needs a bicycle as well.
So if you want to not disrupt society with this new technology, have
your veldt, but make sure that your house feels like a Veldt for the
rest of the people in your family, so that it is not a selfish way of
life, and you can enjoy the best of both worlds.

It is going to transform society, but for the best. Happier more content
people who will be able to fill gaps in their life that life these days
in not filling for them.You can't afford a vacation to Monaco like James
Bond, you know he has a suitcase with a million dollars in it in case he
needs some spending money, but in your Veldt, you can be Dr. No. You can
have your own island. You can be the one who plots to take over the
world and have James Bond dancing on a string, hovering over the shark pit.

Sharks with laser beams on their heads.
