Aren't humans just awesome?
We build amazing structures that last over a thousand years of constant wear and we invent photography to capture the awe inspiring moments that such marvelous creations cast upon ourselves, then create computers to recreate their 3D Dimensions almost perfectly in a virtual environment using nothing but our pictures that we've taken and our impressive ingenuity.
If you can read this: Pat yourself on the back.
Now imagine in a hundred years or so we'd able to neurally interface with a computer and explore said 3D structures in a pseudo-reality. Now THAT would be amazing.
