In the movie Terminator 2, there is a memorable scene where Sarah Connor carves some words into a park bench.
I think those words hold a special meaning for those of us interested in the future of virtual worlds like Second Life, OpenSim, and whatever new worlds will come.
And I believe it’s a very bright future. For everyone.
From the movie Time Bandits:
“You see, to be quite frank, the fabric of the universe is far from perfect. It was a bit of botched job, you see. We only had seven days to make it.
And that’s where this comes in. This is the only map of all the holes. Well, why repair them? Why not use them to get stinking rich?”
Or, you could use them to build a foundation for the future of Virtual Worlds.
