- To try to put all of this into perspective I will paraphrase Dennis
- Miller from a performance here at UGA. After he apologized for leaving
- us with Jay he went on to say:
-
- Have you heard about this new Virtual Reality stuff? I've seen the
- Lawnmower Man and heard some of the debates about it can be mindcontrol
- etc., and I just realized this. The day when Mr Redneck can sit back
- in his Lay-Z-Boy with a beer in one hand and a remote control in the
- other and make love to Cindy Crawford ... it's gonna make crack look
- like aspirin.
-
- That is not an exact quote, of course, the performance was weeks ago.
- It is very close to the original and it gets the point across. It WILL
- make crack look like aspirin. Like everything thing else new and
- revolutionary, some won't be able to handle it. I, for one, can't
- wait, because there will so much more we can do that we haven't even
- imagined yet. And I don't mean VR Sex, I mean incredible new things,
- TOTALLY NEW experiences. I will be one of the first in line to get
- a head-jack. I just hope it is before I am 80.
