Read / Write Web introduces a fascinating video from Davide Casaleggio that details the evolution of mankind into a state of virtual reality, where Google and Microsoft rule the world and the government makes copyright illegal. The world will never be the same again…
It is a very cool 6-minute video, which takes some educated (and imaginative) guesses at how the Web and media will evolve over the next 40-50 years. In the short movie, Google, Amazon.com and Second Life are the big winners - with Google buying Microsoft, Amazon buying Yahoo, and Second Life becoming the dominant virtual world.
The core future media concept is the Agav - an Agent-Avatar, which "finds information, people, places in the virtual worlds". Here’s where it gets interesting. In 2022 Google launches Prometeus, the Agav standard interface, and Amazon creates ‘Place’ - a company that replicates reality. Then in 2027 Second Life evolves into ‘Spirit’, where people can become who they want to, via avatars. And then finally, the ‘Google overloads’ moment - when Prometeus buys Place and Spirit! By 2050 virtual life is the world’s biggest market and Google/Prometeus reigns supreme.

Philip K. Dick with an Italian accent - molto cool! “Prometeus” on parole at long last… “SPIRIT” rules… “Second Life” turns multitaskers and parallel partygoers into happy campers… all quite plausible, actually
Thanks for passing me this link!
It’s a real pleasure to see you popping over to our uber-techno-corner of the net…
We linked back to your HitchHicker’s visual explanation of a Babel Fish several months back…
We’ll see you when we get there, if we ever get there, see you when we get there…
