Nice one. I have stumbled and twittered this for my friends. My friends will enjoy reading it also.

Good read. I have made a twitter post about this. Hope others find it as interesting as I did.

What a nice expression: "...sounds like he's just not avatarizable" :)

too bad we cant leave cult like hats like this guy behind as well...

just be-- dont think, dont edit, dont learn, just add to the mass of movement that defines the cogs of the machine.

Its so 1920s, so Charlie Chaplin, but then again, he followed up by having to send up Hitler.

None of this stuff works as human interface to other humans, and 90% of the junk these guys sell us is interface to machines that dont work either.

Jounalism requires editors... life requires editing or we just another species of bug, ignoreing what we evolved too.

control is the ACT of authority, not its establisher......

anyhow...

Other analysts would say the twitter network/followers are more important than the individual, unfortunately, and maybe that's why the devs are pushing lists now.

Some of it sounds helpful, like the admission that individuals are more import than groups.

But modern man doesn't *have* to go back to the village market place. It's good that it is there, but he is not required to spend his entire life, online or off, with everybody knowing his business and judging him with the tiny minds and mores of villages. He is urbanized, and he thrives in the urban setting as well, which is more free. Not ever urban man is alienated and apocalyptic.

So at one level, I appreciate what this guy is saying, but then, as per usual, he goes off into "prescriptive descriptions," trying to one-up, trying to be on the next groove train, trying to be the live wire conference hopper that everyone will quote and say is a "thought influence".

Roland, do you realize that these kinds of ESTy Tony Robbinsy self-improvement be-here-now New Age things are a dime a dozen in California? That corporations oversupplied with middle managers that they still can't seem to shed even in the recession need them to go to workshops like this and imbibe all this stuff and pretend it means something? That it is really a racket? And finally there's a book out somewhat exposing all this "power of positive thinking" stuff (Barbara Ehrenreich".

People want to share space, too. And in fact, that's what virtual worlds help you do. This guy sounds like he's just not avatarizable, and just not into it, but that's fine, there isn't one set way for everyone. I feel he is trying to hard to analyze the present and predict the future so he can be in power in it.

The web of pages is fine, and nobody left it behind. It's still there, despite his blow-hard insistence that we have to "go with the flow". Wait, they said that in the 1960s. Are those Steward Branders repeating themelves again?!

A lot of businesses will still have to do the ordinary stuff businesses always did. What is he talking about? Only a relative tiny percentage of Silicon Valley businesses in California. We don't "have" to change for change's sake -- in fact, we changed already, and what we left behind was the village.

For web conferences you should try http://www.showdocument.com ,
Great for online teaching and collaborating. I use it for working on my designs with other in my field.
Its free and pretty simple - you just upload your file and invite others to view it together.

You just shouldn't name Second Life in a way that make people think Linden Lab is directly supporting / backing you, and it's a industry common practice.

they would rather save their resources on that. Google has just release Google Video Chat that is set to take the whole world by storm. It's still just in Beta but already many people have jumped into it and given rave reviews.

It seems that we may be overlooking some of the factors. Children are becoming overbooked because they are under-supervised. Busy children rarely have an opportunity to get trouble, or at least fewer opportunities. And since few of us have a parent at home, there is no supervision if we don't send them off to a supervised activity. Once upon a time, we also knew our neighbors. Whether we were friends or not, we could NAME them, and we all knew who we were and where to go if we wanted to speak to the owner of the orange tabby down the block who keeps getting stuck in my tree.

Love how you posed this question. Six months ago I would have disagreed with Rheingold, especially as I watched the concurrency rates in Second Life climb rapidly. Now we know that those concurrency numbers were artificially (literally) boosted by bots.

Today, I think the answer is somewhere in between. I don't believe that virtual worlds as we know them today are the new Web, but rather, they are a step in the direction of 3D immersion via the web, which will be accessed in a number of new ways, via mobile tech, augmented reality and...? Exciting stuff.
