The document discusses virtual worlds and new technologies. It addresses common excuses for dismissing these technologies like "I don't have time" or "We already have other communication methods." It explores how new technologies have historically been dismissed but still managed to coexist with older technologies. The document also discusses concepts like user-generated content, virtual islands/sims/rooms, augmented reality, virtual and physical augmentation, and how technologies could augment inputs and each other in new ways.
