OK, just posted my slides for the Accelerating Change 2005 conference happening this weekend at Stanford University. I'll be hopping in and out between now and then, tweaking things, making notes and adding links for each slide, etc. so this is very much an open book for the next week. Please take a look and let me know if you have any feedback or suggestions. Hope you enjoy! (Click "Continue reading..." below for the slides, and click any slide to enlarge.)
Talk Title: Brave New Virtual Worlds
Abstract: User-created virtual worlds like Second Life are pioneering the media-rich 3D Web, as in Neal Stephenson's Metaverse. Searchable, interactive virtualizations of our planet, like Google Earth, are opening the geospatial Web as in David Gelernter's Mirror Worlds. As an introduction to our Explorations session I'll take a brief look at these emerging platforms, building up and tearing down some ideas about their short- and long-term potential.

"Look at the virtual worlds of today’s Massively Multiplayer Online Games (MMOGs) like Second Life.
Want to know why everyone will have a blog tommorrow, just like everyone has an email address today?
Because your blog will be your avatar in virtual reality. And you can’t play in virtual reality without an avatar. So you’re gonna need a blog, baby..."

Hey. Do what you feel in your heart to be right - for you'll be criticized anyway. You'll be damned if you do, and damned if you don't.
I am from Chad and , too, and now am writing in English, tell me right I wrote the following sentence: "During the action, the anti-fascist sets the nationals for the specific sport, and favour rokkaku in he last extent."
With love ;-), Paulos.
