Why not use a crazy surrogate? Like a WEREWOLF or stuff like that.

This movie was nice. I like movies in the near future, like Minority Report, A.I., I Robot. It's always fun to see how it's depicted and the little details of the future.

Anyway, the only thing that really annoyed me was the following: why wouldn't people use crazy/weird/bizarre surrogates, as they do in games like Second Life and World of Warcraft and stuff.

I BET it would be like that, if this sort of thing existed. Who would want a boring surrogate if they could be a smoking hot woman, a werewolf, an ORK, a POLAR BEAR, you name it. Hehe. It could be heaps fun.

What would you like to be? I'd like to be a platypus (not very useful, but very funny).

You people lack imagination.

Okay, so you got a surrogate that simulates all your feelings, right?

So obviously you are able to tap into a data-stream that gives all those feelings to you?

SO, OBVIOUSLY, the data-stream doesn't have to come from SURROGATES, it can come from anywhere, just as long as the data is there.

SO OBVIOUSLY, you can experience the surrogate experience in a fully virtual world. Meaning you can be as much a werewolf or a night elf or whatever the hell you want. Even slowpoke.

I agree. I wouldn't want my surrogate to look like a weird fairy-tale creature or anything, but I would go for an edgy robotic looking surrogate. Not covered with fake human skin or hair.
