Everyone connected to a video network, allowing for mass awareness of content that will be created in such a unique way, that everyone can use it, but which allows each person to differentiate themselves.

Possibilities

1. An interface (partially customizable by graphically appealing template(control over individuality?)) will allow the user to have access to a myriad of multimedia applications, from watching cable TV, accessing internet, voice and video conference, photo and video capture, games, all transferred wirelessly . Advertising will inevitably have to be imbedded in the programming of content.

2. The government having access to wireless receivers and decoders will inevitably want "police" this new wireless phenomenon. Eventual struggle for control.

3. Fox News Corp., owning a thing such as Myspace, who has over 60 million people and counting, now has access not only to personal profiles with all sorts of information about our personal lives, birthday, email, music, IM, PHONE NUMB3R, contacts, addresses and friends. Now with all this control over the information that at the moment is most likely being reviewed to find the answer to the next generation of advertising, who is to say that as 2nd or 3rd party Fox could potentially sell this information to the highest bidder(govt?).

4. None of the above because our government loves us...

(Sony Ericsson and Blogger have also joined forces to provide blogger content on 3.2 mega pixels phones. What sort of community are we going to make for our future?)

You must be getting off of work, and you walk on Kuhio St Ewa(west)-bound, with
the most gorgeous dark brown hair, brown eyes, usually jeans, very
casual... I'm always curious where you work, because your clothes are
so... mellow. You have a serious look most of the time, and are always
alone. From your appearance, I'd say you were Italian or something
Whatever your deal, I come the other way most nights, and we walk by
each other. I've never said hi, or really had a reason to, but you just
look like such a sweet girl, very real, and I'm always curious about
you. Someday maybe I'll say hi... Or maybe you'll see this. Maybe you'd
remember seeing me, too. It happens about once a week. You're cute, and
I'd like to know more about you...

During a normal day, I encounter many things which continually shape the way in which I look at my reality. I often find myself contemplating ideas, and their potential success, yet few times does an idea come along that makes you rethink the very foundation of that continually shaped reality. That is when one has to step back and evaluate all available options, so to appropriately make a sound decision about the actualization of that idea. These moments of clarity should be, noted because ideas come and go at the speed of thought.
