Barclay and Fluttershy would probably get along really well seeing as they're both introverts. |

I'm not a star trek fan, but damn. Holodeck's would rock socks if they were real.
One day... When I'm dead though... :( |

Cracked did an article on why holodecks would be horrible, as you would probably believe the holodeck was reality, and try to kill anyone who told you otherwise (like Total Recall). |

this is the episode where he takes over the ship and takes them to the center of the galaxy? was kinda lame.
would have been cooler if he'd bent time and space and taken the to the Ponyverse. |

@feather
You could say that about most anything, really. |

Oh Holodeck, why are you not yet invented? |
| HeinousActsZX #547236 9 months ago |
I would enter the Holodeck.
They'd have to carry me out. |

I don't know, we've already developed ultrasound haptics and holographic projection. That's maybe a third of the way to holodecks. I give it 40 years max until you can pony pony, but even that seems more than a little conservative. |

Oh, it's easy to imagine all the filthy things people would use Holodecks for, hehe
I'm sure more than a few Bronies would just live in a Ponyville program, forever with their waifu. |

I don't see how you'd think the Holodeck was reality if you remember walking in and turning it on. |

Is this a reference to sfdebris? |
| Iamunicorn #548671 9 months ago |
Yeah, I would do this with a holodeck. To hell with debating with Lincoln, or learning calculus from Newton. Nuts to scoring with playmate triplets. I wanna be a pony. |

I was watching the TNG episode where Barclay deletes all his programs except number 9. I thought, "what's so special about program number 9", and suddenly it was obvious... |

And then Q showed up as a dragon-thing and ruined everything. |

Imagine how you'll react if you're in your holodeck and somebody interrupts you. Say, you're halfway through your chess game with Darth Vader, when suddenly he disappears, Scarlett Johansson is no longer sitting in your lap, and pizza costs money again. You'd find the guy who turned off the machine and snap his damned neck. Dilbert creator Scott Adams jokingly points out in his book The Dilbert Future that the holodeck, "will be society's last invention." It's no joke; once we had it, there'd be no reason to have anything else. It's not just that it would be addictive; it's that it would literally fill every possible human emotional need and utterly eliminate all motivation to ever do anything ever. Everyone's only goal would be to do just enough work to keep food and electricity coming into the holodeck, to keep those interruptions by reality to a minimum. People would stop reproducing, your virtual Scarlett Johansson could have perfect virtual kids who'll never wind up in jail or steal money from you to buy crack. If you get tired of them, tell the holodeck to blink them out of existence. If you're saying that you're a high-minded person who pursues spiritual goals and would never be sucked in by anything as crude as a simulation, hey, they've got a holodeck for you, too. You can sit down to dinner with Plato and Abe Lincoln and Gandhi and Jesus. If somebody yanked you out of that to go work at the post office all day, you'd barricade yourself in with a shotgun. If aliens showed up to Earth 1,000 years later, they'd find an abandoned planet with ten billion mummified corpses laying on the floor of ten billion dusty holodecks, with huge smiles on their faces. ============== So basically........DON'T DATE ROBOTS |
