Will we ever be able to smell/feel/taste the internet?

As humans begin to adjust to our decaying planet and we all eventually become cyborgs, will the internet provide an outlet to experience sensations of life in a virtual setting? Will you be able to escape to the digital world for hours, days, weeks on end with an endless amount of totally realistic experiences?

This sounds like something out of Brave New World, or the movie Inception - borderline Matrix. I don't think were that far away from it. I have this vision for the future where when a child is born, a chip is implanted in the brain that accesses the internet, which every human being is plugged into through their chip. We can all communicate without speaking, instantaneously, and access all the information in the world. We all live in a virtual society in our minds.

Seem possible? Scary? Is it really that farfetched?

When they have real virtual sex (you know, like the holodeck on Star Trek), all other forms of communication will cease to exist... well, for men anyway.

If they ever came up with holodeck technology, everyone will not have a need to live in the "real world". They could just program up their fantasy world and never leave. Men would just sit their virtual pron star world and women would live in a virtual world filled with the ultimate kitchen appliances, irons, vacuums, etc.

      So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?

      Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
