watching the super bowl

Snowstorm

The storm is a perfect illustration of the need for knowledge workers to work together within knowledge "worlds". The power of virtual reality is the sense of collaboration we can attain with other people; a sense which we know is important. We've all compared video conferences to traveling to be with a team face to face - and we realize the importance of really engaging with people.

One need only look at the oil graphs and container shipping I have been pushing to see that we have been dependent upon oil for transporting lots of things around the country, including ourselves. And the main reason most of transport ourselves - commute - around this great land is our need to be with people we work with. Being with people is what virtual reality - in its new form as "virtual world" - is all about.
