The fake is of far greater value. In its deliberate attempt to be real, it’s more real than the real thing.

Novelty is a natural part of human experience. The only way we can exist is if things are not as incredibly mind bending as the first time you see them.

We perceive reality from the moment we open our eyes upon being born. By the time you comprehend what reality is, it's old hat. This happens to everything, from the first time you see a good movie, to the first time you drive a car on the freeway, eventually everything that we do repeatedly loses its novelty so that the human mind isn't constantly blown by all the crazy shit going on.

It might partly be that a lot of what is designed for a screen is made deliberately to be maximally appealing to begin with.

For example a film or tv show is shot with various lense that create pleasing depth of field, color and light is carefully controlled. Same with high fidelity video games. Even the UI of your applications is made to be appealing and clean.

Sports are sort of shot like films too, and often the cameras can resolve much higher detail than our eyes alone can. The way a sports event is shot in high def can be like gaining the visual abilites of a hawk or something. The lens can zoom in close while our eyes can only squint.

I guess we just didn’t expect to see this kind of realism from a TV screen until it came out, it was a totally new arguably ground-braking thing. Especially with fictional media, which is why James Cameron’s Avatar was so great in 3D (despite being utterly boring IMO).

Think about it, the first HD television broadcasts started in the early 90s in Japan. How exciting that must’ve been. They even got HD movies in the form of Hi-Vision Laserdiscs.
