Teledildonics: Oh The Wonderful Things We Infidels Create

Al Fin writes one of the most important blogs in the blogosphere. The subject is technology, and the amazing changes that await us in the next 40-50 years. His headline reads:

"Primary interest is seeing that the best of humanity survives long enough to reach the next level. "

The point of that statement is that Al Fin is well aware of the threat we face from the Islamofascist Jihad. Al Fin believes great things are coming our way, if we can just defeat the Jihadis.

Al Fin writes on serious subjects daily, including Biotechnology, Nanotechnology, and Computer Science. Today, he is writing on Teledildonics.

"What is Teledildonics?" you ask.

No need to ask. It is exactly what you think it is:


Most people have heard of teledildonics, the family of technologies that allows people to sexually stimulate each other from a distance. Presently the technology is limited to remote controlled vibrators and other simple machine stimulators. Eventually, the technology is going to get much more sophisticated. Science fiction can give us some ideas how it might be done.Take the Star Trek shows featuring a "holodeck".

You may have wondered how in the world solid objects could appear from empty space--even convincing simulations of walking, talking, touching, human beings. More than one crew member had to be reprimanded for fornicating with holodeck "beings." Well, at least one, and you can imagine how the stress of crewing a starship might lead to that kind of thing . . .

Anyway, you do not have to wonder any longer about the technology involved. There is a type of nanotechnology that has been theorised called "utility fog." Utility fog can sit in a room, invisible to the naked eye, then when activated it can simulate solid objects. Here is a list of links for learning more about utility fog and how it might be made and used.

There is quite a gap between a bluetooth controlled vibrator or role-playing cybersex, and a fully animated touch-realistic holodeck partner using utility fog. No doubt remote controlled realistic sex robots incorporating haptics sensors and actuators will attempt to fill the gap in the near future.
