Because, frankly, if you say that VWs are going to be useful for entertainment, education, and I'd add, business, then that pretty much covers it, except maybe for military, which is just another form of business & education (I'd hope not entertainment) to some. Cell phones and sneakers are already used in those three domains, to talk and to walk, respectively. The point is about their ubiquity.

Nothing more, or less. all vr worlds efforts not in these 2 areas--Like the ever stupid Lively- will always fail to be used. sadly lively was the google techs concept of a entertainment product, but it wsnt entertaining.. look at the dead MSN and AOL and Yahoo Entertainment networks that all failed over the last to see the evidence of my point. Lively was just another geek effort at being a mass consumer entertainment media... and thus no one past the tech blogs found it remotely entertaining. boring tech bob like most techs, you keep asking the wrong questions. vr worlds are not ever going to be like the cell phone or sneakers…

Yes, virtual worlds are still in the future but it is those risk takers that contribute the much needed bricks and mortar to provide a solid foundation. Just how many bricks? Lots.
