Holograms- magic or science?

I just finished watching the video Mr. Curtis just posted on his blog about holograms. For everyone out there, who has no clue as to what a hologram is, here's a lovely definition from dictionary.com. Hologram:a negative produced by exposing a high-resolution photographic plate, without camera or lens, near a subject illuminated by monochromatic, coherent radiation, as from a laser: when it is placed in a beam of coherent light a true three-dimensional image of the subject is formed. Those are just fancy words for a 3-D picture that appears in front of you, it is broadcasted from a special device, and in some cases, you can move the hologram with a gesture. This gesture is called an AirStrike and with a srike of the hand, the hologram can disolve into pixels, or move upward or downward. I think that this is amazing because the lady in the hologram looked very lifelike. If we improve this technology, and find a way to incorportate this into our homes, this could be a new way to communicate. Science has gotten very close to magic, especially with holograms.
