I've spend a lot less time in SL lately, just thinking on the direction of all this and where I find my place in it. We know SL as being just the beginning. It helps present the uses of such a tool. But we have reinvented the wheel a few times in the process. I like looking at what's actually next. This Google Earth idea is actually new to me, but ties into my thinking of potential future pieces of the puzzle. But it's probably not using google, but the concept of overlaying virtual and augmented spaces. But what's first is just having a mainstream augmented interfaced computer. Here's my thoughts on that:

A virtual operating system with vastly more applications for augmented/immersed integration is an exciting thing. What do you think? 50 years? 20 years? less? I'm thinking fully immersed headsets are falling in price, processor power is steadily increasing, virtual interface controls and camera motion reading is getting better, so 5 to 10 years you might see the first generation augmented GUI for the home PC.

It's fun to think of the possibilities for such tools. Your quote on the discovering of the purpose of the Universe is an interesting one. The world is full of wonder, we're dissecting it quickly eh? Historically shown so far, we've been moving exponentially which is both amazing and scary. There is something at the end of the graph. I'm one to think it's God. This post touches on that a little:
