    Notes on slide 1

    Ok enough about me – let’s talk about where to find me.

    Polarizing debate = wide-eyed digitopians (internet will create a new utopia) vs. wide-eyed alarmists (virtual communities are sinful) Pro-tech vs. No-techNo techers = counterculture ideology rebellious stance – resist infiltrationWe need more measured, less sensational, deeper dialog Extrapolation / prediction/ risky businessThis Conference great example of struggling with deeper issues while trying to keep speculation & prediction to a minimum.

    Magnitude of what we see is easy to loose ourself in….Internet should not be seen so much as a technological tool as a paradigm shift in the way the world acts on a fundamental level.We are at the most rudimentary stages of what media will be and these are the earliest iterations of development. The most significant impact will likely be – not on “celebration service” production. But between Sundays – most interesting effect on media & technology – Sermons function as – conversations catalysts / provoke thought / convo + action during the week. Consequestly association of the term “church” with a group of people more than a building or weekend service.

    Web 3.0 – data portability Social network interoperability & synced dataLifestreamingHolographic Telepresence – sermon casting, multi media incorporated makes single medium live monologue thing of the past. Sermon may take a less prominent position in the the scope of the week.Seamless Smart TechnologiesTouch screen displaysDedicated interactive spaces3D virtual environmentsMobile device intereaction

    translucency to transparency – We have lived in Opacity. Not good or bad – just is.omnipresenceimmersive technology – shanehipps – become intentional about the time offlinevirtual communities- the virtual world will surpass the “real” world in our lives within the next few decades – Linden dollar = second life Virtual worlds are not imaginary – they are real but instead of being created by God – they are created by people
