With technology getting so clever and small it makes you think if we will be playing games everywhere. We already have very basic games on our mobiles and tv's etc. In the year 2050 Nintendo could release mario mobile. Everyone could like games. So why not put them everywhere. It is scary to think that at the rate technology is developing that we could be playing games in our sleep. With Nintendo releasing smaller and smaller handhelds we could be playing games while in the middle of a science lesson, how cool would that be. There's no telling what could be developed in the future. I say is it too late for gaming to become part of our lifestyle or will it be a good thing?

I already dream about Lara Croft and Jo Dark all night, so it wouldn't be a change for me!

A small cybernetic implant in your cranium, which allows you do directly play game sin the sub-conscious. Let them try and confiscate it!

If you had a device that implanted the image on the inside of the cornea that wouldn't be a problem, but you may get some strange looks.

They have shades that project a minature TV onto the shades...it appears like theres a TV 8 meters in front of you.

Connect that to a portable gamepad/console in one and you could play any console portably.

You'll never be able to play games in your science class, unless you take your GBA in.

Think about it, the screen has to be a certain size or you won't be able to see whats going on.

I already play games in my sleep!

I had a blinding game of GT3 for what seemed like most of last night while I slept.

Probab;y a result of playing it constantly from 6pm Friday until 1am this morning, stopping only to refuel (i.e. eat and let the engine cool (i.e. sleeping).

Note to self: Must get out more.

Has anyone here seen Futurama?

One time they showed this scenario that was pretty funny...

Advertisers showed adverts in peoples sleep by sending waves into their brain....

and then the next day they went out and bought the stuff....

It was pretty funny, but when you think about it, we could actually see this happening in the future....

Scary Stuff!

Ages ago I had an operation in my mouth and I was put to sleep whilst it happened.

They usually call it a dreamless sleep, however I did dream! I dreamt I was playing the first level of Super Mario Bros on the SNES!

when the level finished I woke up. The dream seemed to take 90 seconds, however I was out for nearly an hour!
