I think it'll be quite some time honestly. A lot longer than two generations like the guy above speculated IMO. They are getting really good at making environments look really realistic but people will always be the hardest. As humans we just naturally are able to distinguish others of our species and I don't see graphics becoming so good that we can't tell that it's not a real person. Beyond simply the looks and all the movement is another thing that will take years to perfect. Anyone ever watch Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence? It's a movie that has some amazing CG in it. The environments they create (a mixture of CG and regular animation) almost look real at some points. So as I said the environments are getting really close to looking real....but that doesn't necessarily mean we'll have the power in our PC's to play it in a game.how long do yoy think it will be before graphics become indistinguishable from the real world?
Yeah it really is amazing now how it's not uncommon for kids to have near 1 terabyte in space. I remember in the days when 1gb was only for crazy math professors who had huge formulas that would actually take up that space and I couldn't fill my 800mb hard drive in my old 63MHz macintosh with 8mb of RAMActually one of the new things being invented is microtechnology, look at that iPOD video, they managed to fit 60 Gigs of hard drive space into a little hard drive. 60 Gigs is more memory than my old computer had, and a computer's hard drive that is 40 Gigs is about maybe 10x larger than the iPODS
