Predictions about the future are amazingly varied in their accuracy. Sometimes people are spot on! Other times somethings initiates a change that few if anyone predicted and suddenly the whole world seems to change over night.

That pace has held true for close to 50 years. Ray Kurzweil suggests that this will lead to exponential changes in the human condition and the way we will be able to manipulate the digital world and eventually the real world. Well we might not think about it but in order to create better video games we have to understand how things work in reality. I find it intriguing that in order to make a better virtual world we have to learn more about the real world. See the video below for an example of how stunning this can look
