The computer has given us opportunities to expand the limits of the real world.
- Increased calculation and analyses capacity to our brain;
- Expansion of our memory (all information produced is stored - good and `bad', higher emphasis on meta information creation);
- Embedded intelligence into digital artifacts (from search agents to intelligent products and buildings);
- Amplification and expansion of human sensory input/output;
- Increased and new creative control of surrounding world;
- Creation of virtual spaces and objects where we have freedom to manipulate geometry, time, appearances, properties and location with spatial presence;
- Expanded human communication and knowledge management abilities.
