The connected-immersive world as we’ll know it
While reading my RSS feeds this morning I ran across two interesting stories that relate to one another inasmuch as they’re futuristic, and describe technologies that will underlie the “online” experience. I put “online” in quotes because these technologies may change that experience not only in magnitude but in kind.
The first article talks about ultrafast connectivity which makes broadband look like a soda straw: ‘The Grid’ Could Soon Make the Internet Obsolete. The second article addresses processing that would enable a more real-life virtual experience: Matrix-style virtual worlds ‘a few years away’ See the connection between those two things?
I just hope that talk about this stuff doesn’t seem as quaint as some of the predictions in this article: What Will Life Be Like in the Year 2008?
Hat tip to Paul for a couple of these links.
