One… singular sensation // Tea for two // Three blind mice // Six degrees of separation // Eight is enough // The 12 apostles // Fifteen minutes of fame and 99 Luftballons - numbers are crucial and here you will find numbers in urban space.

Jaron Lanier
Again, or still, an interesting person. Really the inventor of VR (in the early 1990ies). See his Bio to learn more about a fragmented and complex personality.
“In effort to make utopianism respectable once again”, as he said, he gave a speach about 1000 year optimistic scenario. You can see some slides of of the PowerPoint Presentation . He might have given this speach in the context of his Fellowship at Ernst and Young (before, while or after)?
Some interesting video footage of Jaron, being invited by the Future Salon - but just after a 20 minutes introduction.

Actually, the SL hype goes on. There are the first signs that people in FL start to behave pretty strange:


(Thanks to Oliver Wrede). BTW: draftfcb is another advertisting agency using YouTube to promote their work…

So if you see people like this, watch out for the Firstbling. And wake them up…
