Article One:
What would be your definition of animation and in what way would it differ from other definitions that we have of animation?
Article Two:
With digital film making striving to make an interactive media of story telling will video games ever be recognized as film and why or why not?
Article Three:
Will Google Earth or Second life ever go to far where people live their entire life online like in the Matrix or have too much information out there like blue prints of the White House available for download for terrorists?
Answer To Phil's Third Question.
I believe that people would react very strongly to seeing a mirror version of themselves in a metaverse. I think that most people like the avatar version of themselves more that they like themselves. They dive into the Internet to escape the real world and become something that they are not in real life. Everyone dreams of being a superhero, rock star or a popular person. Unfortunately not everyone can be these things but in the virtual world everything is passable. As the internet keeps evolving into the metaverse social interaction will be done more in avatar form that the older chat based interaction. The evolution toward the metaverse is seemingly inevitable. You can already look at your house from a satellite image and then scan into actually see your house. The next step would be to link your face book page to your house so everyone can interact and socialize with your neighbors with out leaving the house. So in conclusion I believe the metaverse is coming and that most people will embrace it with open arms as an escape from the mundane of everyday life.
