The funny thing about the future is that no one can even get close to predicting what will happen.The view in the 60's was that by the year 2000 we'd all be flying around in spaceships and have robotic maids clearing up our space aged living rooms.Real world technology has failed to meet expectations.Games technology has progressed exceptionally rapidly.Pong debuted on our home screens roughly in 1974,and know no one thought 25 years down the line that videogames would be bigger than movies.The technology race will continue,then it will stop dead.Games designers will discover a technological nirvana in which they're limited only by their imagination.Games are already moving towards providing people with an experience rather than a passive form of leisure.Jumps in technology will make the past ten years development seem like nothing compared to the next ten.Perhaps the ultimate vision of the far off future is the holodeck in Star Trek.It can simulate an enviorment to fool the person inside.This total immersion experience is perhaps the dream future of the videogame-no clunky headsets or joysticks,just jumping into a game and literally run your life.The future holds unknown dreams to be realised where life will become a distant memory.

Games are also made to produce experience that cannot be witnesses in real life A Super Hero in Mushroom Land saves Princess with no dad or mom...woun't she be the queen then...? anyway and he kills a giant lizard with a name...and that ralks,...hmm so you see games don't want to be like real life as that would make them point less!
