Without any need for ridiculous shit like "Virtual Reality" goggles and machinery to hook up to and live in a perpetually sedentary, useless, unnatural, vegetative state...
There is a possible future wherein people's minds could be "uploaded" into software with the type of computers we already have and use every day. By inputting only texts and other simple material (imagery, sound, etc.) produced by these people, we could put together a program through which we could talk to them, just as if they were alive today and sitting in front of us.
The idea is that after you write so much, or create so much of any type of communicative material, whether it's art, music, literature, imagery...
There are only so many patterns of expression within a person, and most likely, the whole of their being as it pertains to mentition and communication have been adequately shared after so much material is produced.
We could get accurate responses (personality wise, and speaking in terms of a database of knowledge) that would be just like holding a conversation with that person. We could "talk to" anyone in history who has ever produced adequate material to gauge from.
And there's no way this could violate any type of "rules" of privacy as it pertains to consciousness either... unlike "virtual reality" settings wherein it's possible people could be duped into "uploading" their ACTIVE LIVE CONSCIOUSNESS into a machine interface, where it could potentially be permanently destroyed, held prisoner, tortured, or any other variety of egregious and damaging misuses, see these topics:

I say we should collectively go for the safe, non-intrusive, minimally technologically dependent method of preserving the database of the human mind and experience. This is the future I want to see...
Not more life-support, inactivity encouraging, TRUE REALITY killing tech which will ultimately only serve to handicap people and make them dependent on technology to do the breadth of things they can do naturally if they're willing to hone those innate skills.
