Movies in the future

I have this idea for movies that change their storyline depending on certain parameters received from the audience. this is how it will work:

the movie theatre seats will have sensors to measure things like heart beat, perspiration, attention etc. to sense what the person is feeling at that moment. the movie itself will be shot so that there are a lot of possible story-lines. The sensors will feed to the central unit which will decide what direction the movie takes. In this way you can possibly watch the same movie a number of times and come out watching a completely different one!

Problem can be any unsolved thing that you are working on and the definition is not limited to science, art etc. Raising your kids well is also a problem in this sense, and so is trying to get better at dodgeball. Working on a problem is a process of knowledge creation. So in a sense, life is a process of knowledge creation. What is a good life then? what is a happy life? It is a life where the problems you are working on, the knowledge that you are creating, are interesting to YOU. This is the key here - YOU find these problems interesting and are free of coercion in choosing these problems. This is easier said than done. I wrote about it in an earlier blog post , but I believe most misery (excluding misery due to physical pain/limitations, or psychological issues that are real e.g. ...
