My Question: What would have to happen in gaming to bring back the "magic"?
|
The thing is, that would be 100% unfathomable to us. Maybe not 100%, but you get what I mean.
If you go back 400 years and ask someone to define magic, they won't describe a Prius, or a cellphone.
Me and Dylan often ponder about technology. Every generation has a technological gap somewhere between them and the previous one. And while technological advances are coming quicker and quicker all the time, this is still going to happen - just at a faster rate.
But I think the technology that will make
us say "Wait, what?" will be so over our heads at this point, that we can't even think of it yet. Maybe it won't be ridiculously advanced, rather exceptionally convenient.
Maybe when everyone has a car that drives itself, that uses no fuel, and is voice-activated. I'd consider that pretty magical.
Or maybe the items in your house turning themselves on when they sense you're near. Like you sit on your couch, and your TV turns on, walk into a room, lights go on. Obviously things like this exist, but for
everyone to have it in daily life, and not second-thinking about "Wow, all of my devices are turning themselves on when I want them to", would be pretty magical.
