Augmented realities

This thread is worth following. In the past couple days:

-Jamais Cascio posted an interesting essay on “The Big Picture“, looking at the important drivers for the next 20 years.

-Prag Programmers published “Augmented Reality: A Practical Guide” (See O’Reilly’s post)

-Schneier posts about using cell phones to detect nuclear radiation. Those in power will want this to detect terrorists, but it will also shine a light on the transport of nuclear fuel and waste.

The futurists are theorizing, the alpha geeks are playing and writing software. It won’t be long until we get a political crisis because of data that citizens weren’t supposed to collect.

You are optismitc. I too. There is a new direction given that is more constructive than destructive, already. I feel it from the people. That will give fruits.

Thanks for your matter of quality during your observations.
