Rooms and conference calls

I'm listening to a demo by a company called Vello. It's a phone conferencing service, but doesn't require dial-in numbers or passwords. If the organizer of your conference call has your coordinates (Entourage importing, yadda yadda), you can just dial in from your mobile phone, and it can automatically "drop you into the room where your conference is happening."

So we talk about virtual "rooms" where you talk to people. Since meetings happen in real space, it makes sense to use the term.

What is the End of Cyberspace?

  • About the end of cyberspace

    Cyberspace is a "metaphor we live by," born two decades ago at the intersection of computers, networks, ideas, and experience. It has reflected our experiences with information technology, and also shaped the way we think about new technologies and the challenges they present. It had been a vivid and useful metaphor for decades; but in a rapidly-emerging world of mobile, always-on information devices (and eventually cybernetic implants, prosthetics, and swarm intelligence), the rules that define the relationship between information, places, and daily life are going to be rewritten. As the Internet becomes more pervasive-- as it moves off desktops and screen and becomes embedded in things, spaces, and minds-- cyberspace will disappear.

  • About this blog

    This blog is about what happens next. It's about the end of cyberspace, but more important, about what new possibilities will emerge as new technologies, interfaces, use practices, games, legal theory, regulation, and culture adjust-- and eventually dissolve-- the boundaries between the virtual and physical worlds.
