How cool would that be? You could visit any historical event. You could have hot sex with Eva Longoria anytime you like. You could be President of the US.

I guess the key would be finding a source of steady income so you could quit your job. I mean, you have to have money to resupply your holodeck and pay for the electricity :)

Now that is an eclectic profession...

It's like being a fluffer but with none of the residual satisfaction of having aroused the opposite sex...

Holodeck cleaner, interesting. You would make some serious money at first, though. It's like those guys that calibrate plasma HDTV's, they are raking in the dough right now.

Well I'm sure with holodeck technology we'd have self-cleaning technology by then.

If the Holodeck saftey faliure rate is anything remotly similar to Star Trek, you'll have lawsuits up the wazoo.

Would they have pain effects, I wonder?

The holodeck is fully capable of inducing real pain, injury, and death. It usually has safety systems engaged that prevent such, or at least restrict it.

True, it would be like the guy that has to mop up the peep show booth. Yikes! :shocked:

It works just fine so long as Wesley Crusher is kept away from all consoles aboard the ship.

:laugh:

It would be good for home protection, though. If Borg ever broke into your house you could duck into your holodeck and smoke them with a Thompson submachine gun :D

Why you could make up an Iraq where Saddam was actually a threat and there were WMDs

Or if you were really on Star Trek, you could just replicate one for each crew member and everything would be fine :p

Oh, and just rent it out one day a week. That should pay for cleaning and maintenance of the holodeck if you charge enough (and people will pay it)

How do you think holodecks would be produced? Would they use a holodeck to make new holodecks?
