When computers were
first designed, their true potential was seen as being interaction. When
you watch television, you don't really interact with it... you just watch it sit
there & tell you stuff & have images move around & so forth. But
computers, & especially the internet, give you the power to interact
by making your own decisions.
In this sense, the whole Blue Pyramid is already interactive. But it's not
really that active, because it mostly just tells you stuff & you decide
what part of it you want to see, almost like television in some ways. That's
all well & good, but we thought you might want more entertainment while you're
procrastinating. Or whatever it is that you're doing that isn't procrastinating.
Most people like interaction when they're blue. It really picks them up.
How interactive were the Pyramids? Hard to say, really, without more information.
You can now walk into them & look around, which is fascinating, but
there's not much you can change about them. Unless you graffiti the walls
or something, putting you in the company of Khufu's workers & other very old
people. But I bet this stuff will be more fun than vandalizing a relic...
