...I wanna be in a movie. Oh, that would be cool. Yeah, like in 2040, they're [probably] gonna be releasing Avengers 10. Um, I don't know; I [would probably be] right in the middle of it. Or like...you know how [in] movies, you [only] have one perspective of it? But imagine [that] in the future, you can just go to anywhere in that scene, and then view it from that area.

...I guess 4D [technology] would also become much more real. It would become much more real [in the sense that] all of the senses are stimulated...Usually, it's just the eyes and the ears, because you see and hear things, and you don't necessarily talk. But I mean, teleseryes might become interactive; the things you watch online will now have multiple endings...
...I wish entertainment was more creative when it comes to [the utilization of] technology, because I don't think I've seen that yet...If you look at movie theaters...they only stick to what probably the whole world agrees with.

So just more diversity in that sense.
