Title: If you had a holodeck
Post by: Mustaine on August 10, 2005, 10:48:43 AM
from the other thread it got me thinking...

if you had access to a holodeck that could make anything like in star trek, but you could only have access to it for 3 days, then it is gone forever.

what would you have it make?

you can do whatever, but you get tired, and everything else like normal (can't stay up having sex for 3 days straight LOL)

i'd play augusta, fly a Dora and a p51 in WWII combat, race in the indy 500 and daytona, and spend my nights with either rachael weisz, alyssa milano, demi moore (back in the day hottie version), or jewel.

I'd do all the things I've wondered about but would never do in real life.

I'd jump off a cliff, get myself 'killed' in all sorts of ways (hot dogging an X-15 under the Golden Gate, etc), etc.

Then, I'd walk on the moon, go flying like superman, etc etc etc.

Finally, depending on how good the technology was, I'd like to meet my grandpa who died when I was a kid.  He built Saturn Vs, but died before I knew what a rocket was.

I'd recreate WWII in the Pacific with myself as a marine from beginning to end. Kinda like MOH Pacific Assault except 50X cooler.

Won't work. Items created in a holodeck can only exist in a holodeck. Remove them and they vaporize.

Not unless there is a surge on the power grid creating a fault in the holodeck, making items that are removed from the holodeck to become real

Take my wife and daughter to a cottege on a lake.  We would have to fly their because my wife has never been on a plane.  Make it first class.  Have a master chef prepare our meals.  

During the morning and afternoon, it would be summer and we could go swimming.  Evening and dusk would be fall so we could have a fire and look at the fall colours.  Night would be winter so we could feel snug and secure in our warm beds with the wind howling outside and the snow falling.

I would probably do some fishing, hiking and swimming.  Hell maybe chop some wood for the fire just because I could.

If it was the last thing I got to do in life I would have it recreate my great grandfather and great grandmother who both died when I was 3 and 6. Then I would introduce them to my wife and children. Also I would like to see what it would have been like for my granfather in WW2 landing and fighting on Luzon. Then take a day to experience things I haven't done yet and go out on a high note with just me and the wife sitting on a beach in Thailand.

The holodeck could not recreate a persons personality and spirit so why not just look at a pic?

Wouldnt it be kinda strange to interact with a hologram as if it was a real person.... not that debating holodecks in itself is sane :D

Sex?  Travel?  Food?

I can do all that in reality, at the same time. :p


I want to fly some of these monsters.  I would want to play with these old, overengined warbirds and see what they were really like.  Have some dogfights and see how they felt.

Then I'd get as many photos and as much flight data as I could on as many of them as I could.  Interior, exterior shots.  As many flight parameters on as many as I could get done (using AI test pilots to get more done) and all recorded on media that I brought in with me so that it would not vanish.

If i had time left I would recreat some of the ancient world to see what it was like.  I am assuming that the computer has data that we lack and can produces things we do not know about.

Call me aircraft and history obsessed, but that is what I would do with it.


EDIT:

Oooh!  Post #7000!  Nice, round numbers, mmmmm....

(What is it about round numbers?  I understand othe r cultures fixate on different numbers.)

It's an uber dork fantasy created by the god of Uber dorks, Gene rottenberries.


It’s where dorks, dorkier then WW2 flight sim dorks (yes some are both but you can pick the dual dorks out by the pocket protectors, BO, Linux stickers and lack of hair on the head but tons of it everywhere else, and possible plastic pointy ears) may be able to have sex.  It’s a maybe, because even holo chicks may find them repulsive.

OK, so everything made in a holodeck ..can't leave the holodeck?

So, if you had a steak dinner in the holodeck, would you be hungry the second you left?

Would the pearl necklace you just gave to your favorite holo-girl fall to the ground and scatter when you stopped the program?

It's suggested that some things are replicated.  For instance, food and drink in the holodeck is real.  Voyager had people eating/drinking in the Holodeck all the time, and they didn't die in painful implosions the moment they left.

I read somewhere that the whole holodeck is 3d holographs and force fields.  Physical stuff is simulated with applied force, and occasionally replicated as needed.

Well that aint good, imagine throughly enjoying the holowoman of your geek dreams when a power surge cause a certain area simulated with force fields to fluctuate.:eek:

dont worry, im sure if that holodecks were ever to become real there will be people like me around to tease you about never getting any of the real thing. but i would be glad because i would be getting your share, but i'd probably get that anyway.

The trouble with Star Trek's holodecks is that they kept going wrong or were hijacked by aliens and became a threat to the ship. Frankly with that kind of record they would be switched off and locked in real life.  But I suppose the holodeck was simply a vehicle to go off on some tangental storyline.
The one episode I particularly liked was in 'Voyager' when the had to act out an entire episode of some 1930's Flash Gordon style 'folly upper' as they called them there. Captain Janeway as the the 'Spider Queen'. It was a hoot.

As for my holodeck fantasy. I liked Thrawn's suggestion combining the best of all  feel good vacations.

I imagine if there was a real holodeck. There would be pre-programmed games like we have now.  Adult games would cause huge controversary and probably be as rubbish as any porn video. Let's be honest is there any such thing as a PC sex game?  
Concerned parents would claim they are corrupting their children. The religious right would try to ban it. Ambitious politicians would condemn it and the media would sensationalise it.
You couldn't use real people because they would sue your ass:(  You might be able to get home made holos stolen from say, Pamela Anderson or Paris Hilton.:cool:

There would have to be huge safeguards, 'safety protocols' as they call them in Star Trek. If anyone as much as sprained a finger while re-enacting the Battle of Gettysburg. The manufacturer would be sued. :eek:  Heavy users would get holo syndrome or 'holohead'. Doctors would warn about restricting use to a few hours a week. The police would complain the criminals were using to rehearse crimes. Murderers would claim that they lost touch with reality and thought they were still in a holodeck or were inspired by a holodeck program.  

I think it would be just like we have now. There would be some holos made like movies. The difference is that you would be in it. Maybe taking part or just watching as if you were invisible. Others like games, first person shooters and simulators. There would be educational holos and of course the military would use it for training.  Historians would re-enact historical battles and then argue about the authenticity of the programming.

Oh yes, the technology changes but people don 't.

So I think you would use it the way you would use a PC or games console now.  In my case first person shooter, simulators and of course AH27.9 holo download. (Only 3779 gigs and a mere $15,000 a month).

I doubt it will happen soon. But we had something similar not long ago. Whatever happened to virtual reality. That was the next big thing several years ago. Where did it disappear to? It's gone like a holo character outside the holodeck

But there is one holo experience, I would like to experience.It's  a grass airfield on a sunny day with fluffy clouds and the lark singing overhead. My choice of aircraft lined up before me ready for me to fly. Only a few other people will be there on the airfield. All  attractive women wearing only a silk scarf  ready to swing my prop. aaaaaaaaawwww:aok

Or how about you ate some pretty funky food and after you entered the holodeck you had the a major dirahea attack to where every 10 minutes you had to say "Computer, add toilet."

Soooooooo........

3 days and about a million craps later, you say "Computer, end program." After you end it and since your crap is all 100% real, will it come raining down on your head??? "and I liberally use the word RAIN.":confused:
