Driving Force of Internet Development
In the next five years, 3D interfaces will let you interact with 3D holograms of your friends in real time. Scientists are working to improve video chat to become holography chat -- or "3D telepresence." The technique uses light beams scattered from objects and reconstructs a picture of that object, a similar technique to the one human eyes use to visualize our surroundings.
"Friends". Sure.
"It's for the children"
The UK government has plans to ask ISPs to block all pornography from home internet connections by default. Under the plan, customers would have to ask the ISP for access to pornography. UK’s largest ISPs will be called to a meeting next month to discuss the idea, which is being presented as a way of stopping children from accessing porn. Says Conservative MP Claire Perry: "We are not coming at this from an anti-porn perspective. We just want to make sure our children are not stumbling across things we do not want them to see.”
