The Christopher Nolan Method

The Inception_(film)#Plot & Screenplay.
Project X was released in 1968 with a cryogenic preservation element decades before Vanilla_Sky. Project X might have possibly served as part of the inspiration for INCEPTION. http://www.aycyas.com/liz_px.htm
{"Hagen Arnold (Christopher George) is an American spy in the year 2118. The geopolitical climate of Earth has changed significantly over the years with Sino-Asia (China) being the only other superpower and enemy of the United States. Overpopulation is a looming issue. Arnold is able to send a message to his handlers in the U. S. stating that "The West will be destroyed in fourteen days." He then takes an anti-torture drug that renders him an amnesiac.

Hagen is safely brought back to the USA and placed in cryogenic preservation until the government can devise a way to get the information out of him. With the key to discovering the secret weapon the Sino-Asians were working on locked inside his mind the American scientists resort to using a holographic memory reading device that can see inside his mind while he is asleep. The scientists also create an elaborate historical reenactment of the 60's as a means to create a role playing mechanism that may coax the information to the surface of the unsuspecting Arnold. To keep his suspicions down in the 60's mock-up, they also create a 60's personality matrix to implant in his mind. He is lead to believe he is a criminal hiding out at a farmhouse and cannot leave lest he be arrested.

As the days tick down until the East destroys the West Hagen comes into contact with a futuristic factory worker named Karen Sommers (Gretta Baldwin) who causes slight anachronistic errors with the 60's facade. An unseen sniper scares her off, leaving Hagen suspicious but none the wiser about the facade he is experiencing. The government finds and detains Karen but tension mounts as not only has Hagen not divulged the secret they need but another agent, the unseen sniper, a man known as Gregory Gallea (Monte Markham), enters the scene in an attempt to coax the memories out of Hagen. His intention is to obtain the prized info so he can doublecross the US government. Gallea has been gone for two years and presumed dead, apparently killed in action while keeping tabs on Sino-Asia. It was he who helped Hagen escape Sino-Asia.

The memory viewing and holographic machinery unleashes a mental power in Hagen. The mental power creates an energy field that kills Gallea in a spectacular display of light and fury. His death however becomes the key the scientist were looking for. They extract Gallea's brain, and, while keeping it alive in a nutrient tank, perform the same brain reading exercise on it as they did with Hagen. Gallea's memories show how the Sino-Asians plan on destroying the West. Gallea injected Hagen Arnold with a myriad of medieval diseases which will, in fourteen days, make him a living plague bomb capable of spreading the diseases throughout the US, thus effectively destroying it from within. The lead scientist, Crowther, recalls that Arnold was in cryosuspension most of the fourteen day period so there is still time to immunize him and save the West. They do so while he is unconscious and then implant a third identity into him, one in which he is living in the future, and happily married to the beautiful Karen Sommers.

Arnold wakes up in a bright and happy new future, a married man who will be allowed by the state government to have two children with his new wife."}

The Data Center Monolith

The Monolith was A.C.C.'s depiction of a hybrid-mainframe-topological-quantum-supercomputer-server. Whether in the year 2001 or 2010 such quantum machines still only exist at the theoretical concept level, as does time travel.

The old IBM tower is located next to the Marina_City complex as AMA_Plaza.

The former IBM Building at 330_North_Wabash, Chicago was designed to look like a 700 foot tall monolith computer.

"For the time it was built the IBM Building housed an extraordinarily large number of computers, which required an advanced level of environmental engineering. The walls were sealed by a plastic thermal barrier, and a reverse refrigeration system was used to reclaim heat given off by machines and people." http://www.emporis.com/application/?nav=building&lng=3&id=ibmbuilding-chicago-il-usa ,

So far the iP5 isn't quite shaped like a pocket monolith computer phone, but the iP5 has a lot of interesting features & potential. The Android phones don't seem to offer a monolith version either. Perhaps because its better to have rounded corners, but some people still might like to have a monolith phone. However, that option may have to wait quite a while until one can carry a room temperature, superconductor, Quantum+Computer in their pocket.

What is reality & how is all this cosmic information stored?
There could be many-worlds & levels within the Cosmos. VR technology has a long way to go until it attains what's depicted in some movies. Of course the universe might actually be a super advanced cosmic VR program. See: Michael_Talbot_(author)#The_Holographic_Universe &
http://www.theuniversesolved.com
Indeed, Jim Elvidge has quite a unique book & web site that provides compelling data about reality.
http://www.theuniversesolved.com/news.htm

Hopefully, many more people will start to ponder the notion of a Cosmic Operating System, figuratively or literally.
Detailed simulations of the Earth, this galaxy & even vast parts of the known universe can be constructed. Its just a matter of how much accurate data can be entered into a Sim program. Obviously, the closer to earth the more accurate such simulations can be.

Indeed, most religions imply that a creator or force has already constructed the universe. Such an immensity of data would have to be organized like cosmic computer programs in the sky. The concept of Akashic_records has been around thousands of years before the development of Virtual Reality & the avatar-machine. Holographic-environments exist in a way & in a way they don't, its a quantum sort of thing.

In ancient times, it would be difficult for most people to grasp the concept of a crystal ball. 3D images in a sphere or ovals are depicted on this disc of lives from the 1200s. These life experiences are part of the wheel of Karma concept. It could also be seen as an ancient depiction of a cosmic hard drive.

http://www.harekrsna.com/philosophy/truth/karma.htm ,
http://www.buddhanet.net/wheel2.htm
This ancient wheel is depicting a video-disk. Its full of bubble images of various life experiences.
Douglas Trumbull would later expand on this image bubble concept in the movie, Brainstorm.
The Multiverse Disc Theory is just the modern version of the wheel of time & space concept.

Metaphor: Suppose a galaxy is essentially like a giant holographic_disc of space-time & other forms of data. There is shape & form that's like a pattern & program, so then what if the universe or cosmos is like a vast hard drive?

Then several of these HDs could be part of a multiverse. The wheel of karma is an ancient concept & eventually VR programs could simulate vast parts of the known universe. What's astounding is that several people since ancient times believe that a creator has started everything in the cosmos. So, if that's the case, then the whole thing is running like an immense & intricate cosmic program. Several scientists already have arrived at this conclusion. They just view nature & the cosmos as a running program without a creator. Whether by chance or created design, the universe is running like a well organized system.

The oval & the spiral are found throughout nature & space.

Some how since ancient times, humans have associated the shape of the wheel or disc as being connected to transportation & information.

The_Doctor is a holographic depiction of an ai character of various possible hologram entities.
If a physical robot has its own OS to function in the real world, then a holographic robot would also require an OS.
http://www.startrek.com/startrek/view/library/characters/VOY/bio/1112409.html
Nanotechnology could enable a holographic robot (program) to physically materialize. Legends and myths talk about forces & beings from other realms that occasionally can physically interact in this world.
The Entity can be an intelligent force or being with a positive or negative objective. Event_Horizon is about a negative entity that has been able to cross over into this universe.

Did some people in ancient times see something like a GORT? Similar ancient drawings have been seen in ancient art.

"Genetically Organized Robotic Technology"
Meet the nano-spiders:
The DNA robots that could one day be walking through your body.

Eventually some A.I. machines could become a combination of synthetic genomic animation & DNA.
Synthetic Biochemical Life 
Monkey Brain controls robot arm and hand

Eventually a synthetic artificial_limb could be developed. While it would be nice to have the technology to grow a new limb, replacing lost limbs with synthetic living material may happen first.

{Jack_E._Steele-"his main focus was on bionics, a term he coined in 1958. The term was officially used in 1960 as the title of a three-day symposium in September of that year.

His work on bionics, and the USAF research on cyborgs, caught the attention of SF writer and aviation expert Martin Caidin, whose 1972 book Cyborg makes explicit reference to then-Major Jack Steele. The book formed the basis of the TV series The_Six_Million_Dollar_Man (and spinoff The Bionic Woman), which popularized, if somewhat inaccurately, the term bionics. (Dr Steele's original meaning was the study of biological organisms to find solutions to engineering problems, a field now also known as biomimetics.)  also see http://amal.net/?tag=biometrics

After retiring from the Air_Force, Dr. Steele continued to practice medicine with a focus on psychiatry, and served as Medical Director of the Comprehensive Drug Dependency Treatment Program at the Dayton Mental Health Center, where he worked for 20 years until retirement. Dr. Steele died in Dayton, Ohio on 19 January 2009 after a protracted illness."} http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_E._Steele

The Crystal Ball and The Magic Mirror

Since ancient times, some people have described or wrote about the concept of a crystal ball or sphere that could show 3D images. These images could be of things & events at various points in time.

Sphere_(novel) 1987 & Sphere_(film) 1998

http://harrypotter.wikia.com/wiki/Crystal_ball Quantum Bloch_sphere Terminology

Long before most humans could ever imagine the science required to develop TV & 3D imaging systems & Quantum computing, there was the concept of the crystal ball & the talking magic mirror.

http://arstechnica.com/science/news/2010/03/moving-beyond-silicon-to-break-the-megahertz-barrier.ars

Eventually inventors & technicians were able to create such things with modern technology.

The Oracle is an ancient concept but it has continued into modern times. The work of John_von_Neumann was an integral part of the ORACLE (computer) project at the Oak_Ridge_National_Laboratory.

-

By the mid 1950s, Philip_K._Dick had realized that special future computers & certain precognition people could tap into various timelines. So in a way, even in ancient times, some people had the idea that holograms could be seen in things like crystalballs. An advanced quantum-computer might be able to tap into specific points & places in time & space. http://www.theuniversesolved.com/theuniversesolved/blog/post/2009/05/Non-locality-Explained!.aspx

So whether its a crystal ball (spherical TV) or a talking magic+mirror, flat screen TV or tablet PC, its modern technology that's based on ancient ideas in the mind.

-

The concept of the Oracle & the_crystal_ball have become a modern Metaphor for future & past events stored in time. http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/arts/when-the-crystal-ball-foretells-a-bumpy-ride/article1513523

The Limitations of Bulky Desk Top Computers

A cell-phone is essentially a pocket size pc/laptop, but its also still good to have a laptop or desktop computer.

Portable computers & other Wi-Fi devices just don't have the limitations of a desktop computer.
Its just that more people will want to link their smartphone to their tablet, laptop or desktop.

At the other end of the spectrum some people just want to have a basic cellphone. Then they don't have to pay extra for a data plan or for using extra minutes. More of their money can go towards a laptop or desktop computer.

Mark_Zuckerberg like Bill_Gates, dropped out of Harvard and also became very successful in the corporate $Y$TEM.

He certainly has created quite a popular data sharing tool for the general public to use & enjoy. All that's required is that people continue to post more of their personal information on line.
