An article on "augmented reality." I have no doubt at all that something similar to what this article describes will be commonplace 20 years from now. Some people will see it as an invasion of privacy, others will think it the next step in the evolution of human civilization.

For my part, I just see it as inevitable, so I may as well start getting ready to deal with it.

Took the kids to see "Wall-e" this weekend and this is hinted at in that everyone rides around with a large screen in front of their faces and don't interact but use the interface for all communication. In the movie one person falls off of their chair and suddenly realizes they have a pool and "see" the world around them for the first time.
The rest of the movie is beat you over the head environmentalism. Other than that, well not much else

Ahh! Now I understand why all the media outlets are giving it such rave reviews. You'd think it was a blockbuster sequel to Gone with the Wind, the way they're carrying on.

World magazine June28/July 5th issue.

Just read what Stanton was trying to do with Wall-E. He always wanted Wall-E to be digging through trash for two reasons; One, he wanted Wall-E to be the lowest on the totem pole, i.e. janitor. The second was trash is a visual, even the littlest kids understand when there’s stuff in the way it needs to be picked up.

Stanton was using the circumstance of people abandoning Earth because it’s filled with garbage as a way to tell his story. His words not mine.

(couldn't spell worth a damn this early in the morning)
I read the article and do see where I could have misconstrued what he was saying. His point was that you can find love anywhere and that we should not let our gadgets take over our lives.
