Addendum

Another shared element of fantasy and science fiction is that someone who gets cut in half might get old, what with all the resurrection and the cloning and the surgery and the cyborgization and the holograms and the body doubles and the dopplegangers and the demonic pacts and the healing tanks and the divine intervention and the time travel and so forth.

Addendum

It's as if everyone had a marathon of Star Wars and Back to the Future and realized having a 3D blurry picture of a guy is of no use whatsoever, to say nothing of aesthetics.

Ephemeral Technology

Isn't it strange that television, a younger medium than movies or radio, to say nothing of literature, is almost dead already? It had close to a single human lifespan. Who would have predicted that in the 60s without saying something about holograms? Those don't seem as popular as they used to be.
