At his Dilbert.com blog, Scott Adams updates a dire prediction.
One of the predictions in my book, The Dilbert Future (1997), is that holodeck technology, as shown in Star Trek, will spell the end of humanity. As soon as sex and marriage in the simulated world of the holodeck become better than the real thing, no one will bother with the expense, stress, and inconvenience of actual procreation. Today I’m going to double down on that prediction, but instead of blaming it on holodeck technology, or sexy robots, I’ll blame the Internet in general.
Will internet porn get so good that people abandon real-world sex? I can doomsay with the best of them, but I think old-fashioned fucking will survive.
