For a while now, I have been dreaming about Holographic Billboards in the sky. In my dream we are driving along and bam, up pops a huge image into the sky, advertising for something. Quite a distraction when one is driving, and I can imagine it causing major accidents in it's launch, but I suppose after a while a person would get used to that sort of thing and notice it no more than a regular billboard. Last night in my dream, my poor old grandpa thought it was the end of the world when he saw one. I had to explain to him what it was, and even then he didn't like it much. I didn't really like it either. When I woke up this morning I decided to do a few yahoo searches just to see how soon we might actually have this technology. While all I have read seems to indicate the technology is out there, I am pretty happy that for now, it probably is too expensive to be of any use to anyone. People have taken to the sky with blimps, airplanes towing banners, and even sky writing, however. And well, the sky is a just a big empty space waiting to be filled. Maybe in big smoggy cities where one can not see the stars anyway, it would be better to see an ad than nothing at all. Thankfully, I still live in a small town and I guess I am old fashioned, but I really don't want a lot of stuff up there just yet. How about you? Would you like to see a giant Hamburger floating in the air? Or maybe an Ad for the Next Space Invasion movie, and then the words "fooled ya!" floating in there in the next few seconds. I am sure those ad makers are going to have a lot of fun with the older generation who just are not used to such things. I'll probably get used to it myself, but I might startle a little each time I see one and get a few laughs from some little kids who have grown up with it all their lives and never would know what it was like when the sky was just the sky. They'll probably think, "How boring that was! "

It'd be better if you could take it from the air. Mmm, burger. *Runs off before Charlie and the Chocolate Factory lawyers come in*

Someone would try to do that. LOL. Yes, in the first week or so of it's launch, Sky TV or whatever you would want to call it, would have major accidents I would think, anything from people driving off of cliffs in pursuit of the giant hamburger, to people dropping dead at what the think is the end of the world. Then what if the technology fell into the wrong hands? Someone hacked into one and made you think you were seeing an open road in front of you, but instead you drive into a lake or something? Scarey.

Or an anvil appears but the ad isn't strong enough to hold it and it falls and crushes you.

Oh yeah, practical joke ads would be very popular with the kids though.
Imagine a giant tornado appearing on the horizon and then the words "Got insurance?"

That'd mean we have truly mastered the skill of holographs.

Holo deck, here I come!

Nah. That's too plain.

You should have several tonadoes, and lightning and rain with the words "Is your insurance really all that good?"

But they accidently made it TOO real, and your car gets sucked in. Then you realize that it was meant to happen and relax. Then the car gets crushed.

Nah, nature just gets its way and a real tornado hangs out with the fake ones and your car gets sucked in for real.

I'm beginning to think that inventors are not listening when they hear so many people object to having all this new technology. I know that it upsets me. I can't remember where I heard this, maybe a song or something but- "the world seems to be allergic to change."

That's not possible, not if you want it to be a hollogram.

This reminds me of that episode of Futurama where they had advertisements in dreams...

Japan would cease to function.

There are already thousands of Japanese killed or left in a vegetative state from starring at three story anime billboard of maids/nurse/mahou shoujo/whatever and getting hit by carsMaking it up...

Can you imagine a giant Goth-Loli sky billboard? Japan = Stop

NO! NOT JAPAN!

This is a rather creepy idea. I think normal billboards are bad enough already, it'd be like outdoor commercials. -shudder-

I think that would be absolutely horrible. I do not want giant floating flashing signs in my sky. Thats just how it is. Its such a beautiful sky ...
