The Future of Communication

Image a day where copyright is illegal.  Image a day where there are no more newspapers as we know them.  Image a day where our daily interaction doesnt require us to leave the comforts of our home.  These days are drawing closer with the evolution of technology and the power of the internet.  Virtual experiences become more realistic, information is more readily available at our finger tips, and shopping is easier while sitting at your desk than walking around a mall.  We see these changes already today, and with advancements in internet speeds, storage space, and the overall embracing of the digital age, we are moving towards a total digital transition where Second Life becomes more of your "life" experience than "real" life.  It is scary in some ways, and amazing in others.  Movies like The Matrix and Demolition Man have introduced similar ideas about the world and how we interact in this way, and its not an unlikely scenario.
