The New Mind-Control

In the future (heh, such an overused and vague statement) controllers and consoles will be obsolete.

I had a dream the other night where I went to the real live version of a game server.
It was basically a building with a bunch of people (players) in it, and you went into this one room to "log in."

Basically you just sort of plopped down on the floor and waited while they (yes, that undescriptive 'they'--by this I mean the administrators of the facility) loaded the client and UI.
Experiencing the loading was a very odd sensation, and I kind of imagine it to be what jacking-in to the Matrix would feel like. It was this strange kind of pressurized feeling that descended upon you, your eyes were literally forced shut and you couldn't open them if you tried, then images were fed directly into your mind via the wireless signal that the room was engulfed in. You saw everything as a character in the game, and the real world was still there, but you existed on both planes and could move freely in each (although their confinements were reconciled accordingly... couldn't have you trying to run across an open meadow in the game and having you slam up against a wall in life, after all.)
