    And yes I spend a weekend in one in Japan, not so bad for 2 days but I can not see myself living in one.
    This is all good and a great idea but imo i think all those fancy TVs and stuff will be stolen within the 1st week.

    But just imagine opening up these types of accommodation for the poor or homeless of our society. It can work if properly managed.
    you have it 100% there .... if properly managed.

    I definitely see a Deus Ex: HR future.

    Technologically we'll definitely reach that place and encounter all the moral and philosophical that will accompany it.

    Society is already in a meltdown with blurred gender roles, decreased intelligence and no sense of community. So I definitely see a Dystopian Society forming.

    Corporations and banking is becoming more and more powerful, we're living in a corporate run world, there's no allusion there. Governments are so focused on watching and enslaving their citizens, so freedom will definitely fall soon.

    I see a very bleak future, one with radicals that both want to force change and deny it.

    I wish we'd have a Mass Effect type future, but we won't get there. We're too busy trying to kill each other than research technology that can save Earth and then take us to the stars.

    Not the whole world have African mentality, yeah I can see it being an issue here but not in Hong Kong. The one I stayed in, in Japan was very well looked after and been operating for a while over 5 years with all electronics in tact. The TV was a small CRT and the capsule a bit more spacious than the video but everything worked, well the ones I knew what it was for. Nothing was labeled in English

    I had bigger issues with the communal toilets as you do not sit down, its kinda like a hole in the ground that you have to stand over and aim. Some people's aiming was kinda like crap

    I don't think any game can accurately or remotely accurate give us a glimpse of the future, since we don't know what can or will happen. But, from a technological stand point, some games may give an impression or idea of what the future could possibly hold.

    Was fun and I would take capsules over SA's backpacker set-ups any day. Stayed in one for a week in Rosebank and sharing a room with 6 people can become a bit noisy esp with the forests they cut down in their sleep.

    Just imagine 6 of em next to each other with just a low wall between you and no door.


    Back on topic:
    I do think a lot of Dues Ex and Judge Dread is pointing on where we heading. Just add a dash of Robocop and I am sure you will not be far off.

    That's a urinal? Clean up on isle 7 please. Looks like a recipe for extra toilet-cleaning activities.

    A deus Ex future does seem more likely than say a Mass effect future I think. There will always be people with more money and less. Just like in Deus Ex where augmentations get stolen is similar to organs being stolen now.

    Well after starting the thread I deliberated with myself and I can't think of any other Game world that comes as close to Deus Ex in terms of the likelihood of it coming to pass. I actually can't think of any real reason why a Deus Ex world wouldn't come to pass; Most of the tech is already in development; as Duke Dude mentioned societal collapse and corporate rising in already in effect. Hopefully things don't degenerate to that extreme point; but just in case I'm going to go and hack some emails and steal some bullets...

    That's Pretty cool. I would probably try something like that... at least once... not so sure about homeless people using it, coz most homeless people have addictions, and trying to fit into a hole in the wall to get some sleep is gonna be tricky...
