The Future of Reality

In the future we will all have serious problems knowing what is real and what is not.

Is that magazine you're looking at online real or fake, done by a hacker?

Is the score of the baseball or hockey game you're looking at real or fake? We know it's easy to fake that stuff, so be alert. And afraid.

Is that actress or actor you're so hot for real or made up on a computer? I don't know either.

That song you groove to: Real people or computer generated 100%? I don't know either.

I like the idea of real people doing real things.

But I know that in the coming years it will become increasingly difficult to know what is real and what is made up.
