    The US Government has recently drafted a Global Online Freedom Act for other countries, including European nations to follow. Some nations are in difficult decisions in agreeing to this act because they believe it violates human rights. In the act, there will be a cyber police, and they will start increasing censoring the web and they will block sites and intimidating internet users. The law will also allow freedom of expression.

  • Today, the term "virtual world" means a lot of things to a lot of people. To many, it means 2D online social games like Gaia Online or Club Penguin.

The fact that it is right now speaks to the deep human desire for real life connections and instantaneousness that new types of virtual worlds have to learn from. But I can't see it stopping there...I see social networks like Facebook that put everyone in the real world one click away as the foundational piece that was missing from a lot of last generation virtual worlds. Now there's a new wheel to build on.
