If you were asking the question 'Why?' or 'Why all the expense?' Its really not expensive creating much that could be created. I dealt with this question of 'why', on a given other occasion...one on the point that the idea itself were somehow enough to drive crazy. Generally a very false assertion, or at least likely to be given the amount of rational thinking otherwise, and then provided that one were reserved enough in waiting for the efforts of other 'respected' individuals in outright saying so, or in other words, if in tandem you hear the chorus saying 'what isn't so', is so, at least the many couldn't be dismissed as 'dangerous delusional'.
But returning to the question of 'why' as in 'why' anything should be as it were, it could be likened often times I wonder to the principle of path of least resistance. If there animals are to traverse a trail, do you think often they would pass the steepest points over and over to make work harder for themselves?! Nope, and it seems often times even in the wilderness trails that people use, are likely ones that may have been established by animals firstly, or no less in some effort to make less effort, if we've said little, what should seem an effort is no longer so much effort. Then as I've stated over again, technology isn't exactly a friend, if it is cheap and prolific, resistances to movement should seem less so. Certainly if watching is easier, so to communication, and then what should seem elaborate social setups, hadn't amounted really to displacements of people on the ground to create an elaborate social scene, or theater much, or creations of this sort in virtual space should be easy enough (again considering the co opt of the platform already handed to one). The virtual of World of Warcraft were unlikely created by the NSA but the NSA could very well use, especially if the cost of this social theater were mere rack space and an ample amount of server power for hosting with lifted code to boot. There should seem very little resistance, if social theater, involved not hundreds of actors that might dissent to a given role, or that such role were defined hundreds, thousands, or more, by one individual alone with the platform and code, or that code were key here in creating as in other estates, illusions. This is to say if you believed it were expensive then it were, seems to play upon the same level of understanding that I might have if technological occasion were spent on the surface using what were created, as often I suspect not only I but many do.
As it stands, I am not sure about recent trending in game console sales, last I read, poorer figures across the board. Not sure if this relates to any particular distrust concerning the modern MMO these days, or amounts to other economic factors.
Beyond this virtual role, that it seems in some way shape or form I've encountered something potentially, the other world, is hard in more clearly seeing. After all, it still costs to drive a car from point A to point B, while the free lunch could be given virtually to the other with wireless camera transmissions and gps tracking...consider a transmitter placed unbeknownst to you on your vehicle somewhere...now how expensive is that...well...likely these days less then hundred bucks...alongside the camera...did you notice the battery draining on your digital camera faster then the norm or when you thought it were powered off...now how expensive truly were a 3G enabled wireless camera without your knowledge? Doesn't seem a whole lot, sure markets charge an extra hundred dollars or so for devices that are solely Wi Fi versus 3G or 4G or whatever happens to be the current wireless cellular technology...but sadly, you wondered in that space if propaganda were running so quick and clean that your snapped photos could be transmitted to a source, or given to make your photos look like crap, or that someone somewhere would plant code on your little digital camera to make portrait shots look like someone were aged (consider aging, via HDR programs, were you lift the light enhancement settings...originally developed for potential medical uses, look scanning for pulse rates of individuals, here augmenting and filtering light in similar fashion, could bring out the pimples and wrinkles underneath the makeup, or perform the exact opposite of desired photo shop enhancements). Sadly you might want to have an old fashioned non digital camera if you were a ghost hunter! :) Of course, it seems a bother, doing this to you but maybe someone else somewhere for some self serving reason...or that at least to some image is power, perception is power. Of course, if absurdly one were asking how and why, I recalled seeing my doppelganger years ago in a Call of Duty 2 game, or as it the development of Google's environment mapping project were completed years ago, by surveillance teams likely in the aims of facial recognition systems, and these days despite all this, social networking systems for digital cameras is merely in keeping with smartphones. It seems even a previous post conspires in a ways to the wonders of technology without much consideration to the darker implications, it seems that if you wanted better imaging, it might not be for your benefit alone. Wink! Wink! Someone spying on you might need better imaging for low light conditions better and fancier optical zoom technology, or that higher bandwidth, meant less downtime for uploading whatever stuff that happened to be on your system.
In a way, sadly, I'd only hint that maybe I should feel used to enough invasions of privacy, if at least it weren't through the obvious persistent dealings of warrant less home invasion searches, these insidious contraptions are certainly part of the conspiracy, and boots on the ground by the way, are much more expensive, or at least, one should hope one weren't spying to the extent of finding a best entry exit time out of the personal home. As it were once theorized that this were costly, these days, even the margins here could be declining given enough technological sophistication and know how in the process?
But at least despite all the apparent 'common sense' of domestic surveillance meant that a security apparatus hadn't resorted to the timeless tactic of holding you as the dredged up bogus threat for the sake of justifications for all things being?! Someday, sadly, I imagined tailored A.I. systems handling these aspects of social control, where you weren't exactly dealing with a human parsing your words, but a system that were programmed with your psychology in mind, and at least you were checked up on by the facebook friends that you hadn't seen for years, or had you thought to do the checking?
