Another technology that uses the subjectivity of reality is film. If we always perceived the objective truth, we couldn't watch Star Wars and see a Jedi. Instead, we'd just see coloured lights on a screen. Our minds are able to construct a subjective reality using a very small amount of stimuli, and create the subjective experience of another whole universe. (Or galaxy far far away, at least).
