Colour Blindness...

@ Karlos

"...My eyes are hypersensetive to some shades of blue, particularly that neon blue colour that way too many people are now fronting their take outs with

It's like looking at burning magnesium *squint*..."

I take it that watching Tron in the cinema is a no-go then?  :-P

@ Karlos

"...That movie was an arsefez for many reasons even before we get that far..."
----------------------------------------------------------

But, my good man, surely a fez can't be luminous blue? Even an arsefez worn by a Smurf has to be red, innit?  :-P

Did you see that news article about the painter who is (allegedly) completely colour-blind? They hooked up a camera to a laptop and converted all the visible wavelengths to sound frequencies. He aims the camera at a colour on his subject and the sound tells him which one it is. I thought that was pretty cool.

@ Karlos

"...Yeah, but how the hell does he mix the paint?..."
-------------------------------------------------------

He aims the camera at the palette and if the sound frequency is too high or low, he adds colour of the right 'frequency' to fix it.

I found the dude and the device here.

Like in Tron ?  :-P

I think for its time it was good. I wouldn't call it an arse-fez, if that's what you mean  :-D

"...Just the concept of literally getting sucked into your computer in the first place..."

Well yes, I can see your point...and it is more applicable perhaps to you and I who believe that there is more to the individual than his physical and chemical components. But anyway I would guess that in the future there will be 'teleportation' of simpler things from one place to another, based on some kind of local destructive mapping and remote reconstruction. Some of the mappping is already being done in MRI technology. I wrote a short story involving such an experiment - I might seek your opinion on it one day.
