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.
