I am a fan of Sci-Fi and I am fascinated by new technology, especially if I read about it 20 years ago when it was just theory.

In high school I wrote a short story where we would interact with the world through holographic images. Televisions were no longer a physical object but high definition holographs that we could float anywhere we wanted and at any size. This was before the internet and the world wide web so I did not consider social media.

My holographic devices were just for data retrieval that fed an implant in your head. No one else could see your holographic devices since they were just an image generated in our minds through the implanted device that could also measure our interactions with those devices.

If I was to rewrite that story today I would include social interactions where I could project my images to others though their implanted devices. I can imagine one day sitting on a beach and interacting with my holographic computer.

When I watched this video on TED as Pattie Maes demos the Sixth Sense it brought back memories of that short story.
