How Mike Judge's "Silicon Valley" Inspired the Future of Holograms | Howie Mandel Does Stuff 

Great thought. My first instinct says yes, a fraction of a %. It shouldn’t be mandatory but it should probably be mandatory to pose the question if that makes sense. As, hologram technology has already been around but clearly it got better, and holograms were mainly used for concerts and pre-recorded things afaik. As should Jules Vernes ( author of In the Year 2889 in 1889) descendants be given a % of Skype and other video calling companies? Though I suppose this is a false equivalency. But what about similar situations, of books and those who have long senses passed that directly inspired something like this? Ideas, and sciences are much like Art, and skills. They improve with time, and get passed on. I do like the idea of him getting some %, as that would encourage and reward inspiration. Muses have always been apart of human culture. It’s why so many languages, have a word for it. Thanks for the thought.

An important thing I forgot to mention was, that it’s not as if Mike thought up of Hologram calls himself first, and to me that’s why it becomes so tricky.

X Japan did a similar thing. One of the core members died in the 90s, and for a reunion concert they “brought him back”. I thought that quality was mind blowing. This is insane. How was the 2pac thing? It was a few years after X Japan, but I assumed that it was better quality than it was recorded.

Proto is a real company, Howie is an advisor, they actually do this, and this is how it works. This isn't a bit.

no it's the future and you're wrong !
