Technology will merge sci-fi with magic. And we will all become mud-bloods.
Your world has changed – from the materialistic to metaphysical, from the real to virtual, and from presence to telepresence. The one that’s unfolding before you is one where an energising Captain Spock may actually meet an apparatating Harry Potter. Ironically, as a child, you have read a lot about this new world. For, it will be a society full of magic, sorcery, enchantment, wonder, thrill, excitement and, of course, fear. The only difference: this time, technology gods, Brahmins and futurists will drive this transformation.
For example, University of California’s Institute
for Telecommunications and Information Technology is experimenting with wall-size screens, super high-definition projectors and extreme Net connections to relay images and sounds. And these will be as real as real can be. Dubbed telepresence, it will allow you and me to be present at two places at the same time. Remember, how Hermione used the ‘time turner’ to do exactly that!
What’s required to achieve it in the world of modern muggles (who can’t do technology magic) are high-bandwidth connections, nearly 5,000 times faster than your home ones. “It’s at that point that telepresence becomes possible,” says the University’s Director, Larry Smarr. He adds that “if it’s life-size, you can’t tell the difference if it’s real people on the other side, or an image.” If it happens, you can easily have your cake and eat it too. The ‘presence’ world will also change as intuitive interfaces track any user (you and me) on any network (mobile or computer). The end result: the moment you leave your office, the nearest pizza joint will flash your favourite virtual menu, or offer you a yummy take-away meal that you normally eat once a week. Since your gadgets will be interconnected, they will work according to your whims and fancies. Imagine, your mobile being automatically on voice mail the second you walk into a meeting.
