Monday

I’m a big geek and subscribe to WIRED magazine. On the back page of every issue they ask readers to “Predict What’s Next”–What do you think the world will look like in 10, 20, 100 years? This picture–Athletic Gear from the Future. The kid opens his birthday present…it’s a Ball™!

Comes with an 82 page instruction manual and the Beginner’s Guide:

INTRO: Congratulations on your purchase of Ball™! Ball™ is sure to provide hours of delightful physical interactions.

  1. Ball™ is a meatspace object that you can grasp and manipulate.
  2. Ball™ will not respond to voice, keyboard or thought commands.
  3. Ball™ is not compatible with 3DVR eye wear or Power Gloves.
  4. The movement of Ball™ is impacted by the force of your throw and pull of gravity.
  5. Game play cannot be paused once Ball™ is in motion.
  6. Ball™ has no online functionality. Physical presence is required for multi-player mode.

WARNING: Safety goggles, knee and elbow pads and ParentBot supervision are recommended during use. Viewing Ball™ in motion may produce feelings of euphoria and/or dizziness. When thrown against floor or wall, Ball™ may return to thrower at high rate of speed, possibly causing injury to eyes, nose, and other facial features. Ball™ may cause perspiration, muscle fatigue, panting, eye and neck strain, and heart palpitations.
