If I've got a a distance learning classroom with a gigabit out to the Internet, I can support hundreds of concurrent students and have them interact with me synchronously. If I'm putting on a major artist with the symphony at the Kaufmann auditorium, I can make that performance available to an audience of many thousands outside the auditorium in high-def in the comfort of their home. If I've got good collaboration-ware, let's say adobe, citrix, or webex, as opposed to skype or googletalk (but it'll work with those jokers too) I can put multiple interactive video collaborators together, sharing not only voice and video but also desktops seamlessly and with no delay. <br /><br />It'll be a panacea to 21st century web-based education approaches, but it'll be hell on the 85% of stuck in 19th century educators who'll be disintermediated out of what's left of their jobs.Once project glass reaches second generation consumer grade (google glasses) that high-speed coupled with pov perspective and metadata in the glasses will make for some virtual reality collaborations the likes of which nobody has yet seen outside of pretty sophisticated lab settings.CNuhttp://subrealism.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11539837.post-82902070535913605502012-09-09T13:30:48.999-05:002012-09-09T13:30:48.999-05:00I was wondering if you were going to mention this....I was wondering if you were going to mention this. So, it's a fair question. What good is high capacity fiber, aside from watching movies? What for? Why do I need this?John Kurmannoreply@blogger.com
