Virtual Mobility Enabling Multidimensional Life

摘要

Each day, one day is added to our past, and thus one day subtracted from our future. That is why the future ought to be simpler than the past. Why is it then, that we always wrestle with the future? Because the new and changing concepts are increasingly complex. In this paper, we endeavour to describe some novel and intricate concepts in the ICT world such as presence, virtual mobility and avatars. They will have a crucial impact in our economic and social lives. These themes are positioned and explained as a logical evolution, a concatenation of breakthroughs in man's capabilities, such as speech, counting, writing, and the first steps in (tele)communication. The evolutionary sophistication in (tele)communication can be caught in three main parameters: distance, time and richness. These three entities behave in time as communicating vessels, but the 'ceiling' of the product of the parameter-values increases steadily. Furthermore, an identity matrix is described, highlighting an explosion in telecommunication far beyond human beings.
