Welcome to my blog on Hologram Technology tetrad. This effort will first offer a definition and a brief examples or illustrations of Hologram Technology. Second it will present table 1 which encapsulates my tetrad on Hologram Technology. Third and last, it will explain what Hologram technology enhances, renders obsolete, rekindles, and reverses based on the tetrad.
1. Definition and Brief Illustrations of Hologram Technology.
According to Robert Workman “Holography is a photographic technique that records the light scattered from an object, and then presents it in a way that appears three-dimensional”. In 1971, Dennis Gabor was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics “for his invention and development of the holographic method.” The object referred to in the definition can be an actual object of a living or dead individual such has been the case for hologram on Tupac and Michael Jackson.
They were brought from their graves to perform to the delight of their respective fans. In the case of Tupac, International Business, T (2012 reports that he “was resurrected with the use of digital technology and the creation of a Tupc hologram”. Other of potentials of holograms go beyond entertainment to include other human endeavors such as teaching and learning as illustrated by the story of Mario Vargas Llosa. He won the 2010 Nobel Prize and built his own “home museum” in the house where he was born using holograms. ”
Mario Vargas Llosa, winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature, now has, in the town of Arequipa where he was born, a “museum home” in which he recounts the most significant moments of his life with a series of holograms that are life-size, three-dimensional representations of the author.” Last but not least, the use of holographic technology to bring participants from different geographic locations to the same meeting or conference table.
It would be amazing to have doctors and patients from different places of the operating room like we have teachers and learners from anywhere to anywhere learning together. The Future of Holographic Technology seems at this point to be endless with technologies we cannot even dreamed of yet.

Hologram Technology Impact
1. What Hologram Technology Enhances?
Based on the current state of hologram technology, one can strongly argue that it is supposed to positively impact a variety of human activities such as artistic performances including but not limited to music, film, video, and museum shows productions. History and other curricula can be taught using hologram based multimedia presentations likely to facilitate learning and critical thinking. Telemedicine and medical imaging are but two critical arenas of human existence where hologram technology is having a positive influence. The need to protect the living and the dead from civil and copy rights violations will spur an unprecedented rush for new regulations.
2. What Hologram Technology Obsoletes?
Hologram technology is bound to render obsolete uni-dimensional artistic performances in music, photography, films, and video productions. With advanced medical imaging systems becoming more and more available, traditional radiography is increasingly becoming a less desirable alternative. The new technologies are likely to crown celebrities to some sense of immortality. The concept of pluripresence for “presence in more than one place at the same time” instead of physical presence will be a reality for professionals such as doctors, teachers, and entertainers.
3. What Hologram technology rekindles?
The emergence of hologram technology is likely to push the following technologies to the status of tools or processes from the recent past: traditional photography, X-rays face to face interaction, Skype, Business meetings, trips, audio, online, and video conferences.
4. What Hologram technology reverses?
My tetrad on Hologram Technology is anticipating that, like the combination of telephones, cameras, clocks, calendars, web browsers, and other technologies into the cell phone as a single device, hologram technology will be blended with many other technologies such as telepresence, brain downloading and uploading, time travel, Holographic Television, Teleporting for the creation of a new civilization. That new civilization will be primarily powered by holographic cameras, photos, and video projection tools, Multiple Dimensions Technologies, and Pluripresence faculties.
With new technologies such as holograms, information downloading, telepresence, and others, we face a future loaded with opportunities where scholars, scientists, philosophers, and theorist from different historical times could be brought together, even from their graves, to discuss or debate on a variety of issues .
