3-D Avatars Could Put You in Two Places at Once - 1 views

  •  
    Probably within the next five years, we will have the luxury of being in two places at one time using 3-D avatars. Instead of getting up early, getting dressed, and changing your schedule around for a meeting, you could just open up your laptop and within the matter of two minutes, you can be in a virtual conference room. The program will allow you to move your head to look around the room at the other people and while your avatar is wide awake and taking notes for you, you could be sleeping.

    If technology does get this advanced i'm going to be not too suprised. Things are changing very quickly in our world and nothing suprises me anymore.

    That's actually crazy. Technology is getting so advanced.

    I personally do not like that idea. America is already making a big deal of people not doing anything like not working and people being over weight. This is just another chance for people in the world to sit at home and do nothing.

    That would be awesome, it's like facetime but 3-D.

    This sounds like it could be a bad idea. it would just make people lazier than what they are. I wouldnt do this.

    James ~ be sure when summarizing, you summarize. I can see that you chose various facts/sentences throughout the article and what you chose was great in giving a short overview of the important parts of this article. Be sure, however, to always use your own words to retell what you read versus direct sentences from the source. Did I just see somewhere, too, that one escaped in California?
