Brave New Virtual Worlds Presentation Slides v1.0 for Accelerating Change 2005

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.

•Checks back in on my presentation from Accelerating Change 2004, Rise of the Virtual-to-Real Labor Force: From Underwear to Architecture, which also looked at Second Life. At that time SL had only 10,000 subscribers.

•Now according to the live map and population data SL has 47,731 subscribers.
•Second Life Herald June 2004 interview with Philip Rosedale, where Philip projects one million SL subscribers in 2007.

•Part of the ASF's growing Future Salon Network of monthly meetings on science, technology, business, and social futures. Meeting in SL lets us bring together people from all over the world in a graphical collaboration space.

•Blogging in Virtual Reality:

"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..."

It is very important to have good or at least decent credit history if you want to be approved for any kind of credit. Your credit report is the document that shows your creditworthiness. I've been working hard on my credit history - paying my bills, keeping my income stable and I'm really hoping to be a proved for a good credit card deal at

When choosing a credit card I always feel like I have a rival I need to outsmart. If I don't I'll be ripped off but if I do I will save a decent amount of money. I would like to hear your opinion right now. I need to get a good cash back credit card. Which offer would you recommend at

I am a college student and I'm looking for a credit card to start credit history. I am being offered quite q plenty of them but I do not really like the terms and conditions they carry. I want to make my own, independent decision and apply for credit cad I like online. Now I just think which is better to have - a student credit card to build credit history, a secured credit card or no credit card all of which I've seen at

Using credit cards wisely is not an easy thing. One should choose a card for his spending preferences and know how to make payments so that his credit score will increase and debt reduce. Among web sources for credit card applications and guide to personal finance there is one I like most

Hello. I have never had a credit card and I'm really tired of carrying all this annoying cash about me. But I am afraid that I can miss or delay monthly credit card bill and it will end up in a debt. Are there any credit education courses that teach credit card management and explain the peculiarities in terms and features? I would earnestly want to apply for credit card at

There is a reason why people get credit cards. You pay more but there is no other way to buy the things you want. The thing is that you need to carefully compare credit card deals before choosing the one that will cost you less. If you want to find one check out

I've been thinking lately that being frugal is not a bad idea. My credit history is not that great mostly because of lat payments on credit cards. But I still feel like the only way to rebuild it is to get another credit card and quickly pay it back. Which one do you feel will work among those at

Hello everybody! I had never been interested in building credit history until I came to buying a car. So I applied for several cards, paid them off and when my credit was good I managed to get a car loan. Now I regularly use credit cards for different purposes and financial tips I found at

More or less nothing seems important. I've just been letting everything happen without me recently. I can't be bothered with anything recently, but such is life. My life's been generally bland today. Not much on my mind these days, but eh.
