This means continuous, live, automatic upgrade across every computer participating in cyberspace zero administration. There s little hope of retaining or defending any intellectual ownership, patents, licensing or distribution rights. The Open Source approach would appear to be an appropriate model for development. Global and open collaboration also appears to be a good way of a system being widely adopted, and probably becoming a standard. Content Content is the way to happiness seems to be the motto of the Web today, and it applies just as much to cyberspace.
Vast capacity means vast content and vice versa.
It also means far too much work for a single organization, let alone a single person. Just like the Web, cyberspace content will have to be created by the masses, and that means we have to produce good content creation tools. I see no reason why a system cannot be developed to achieve all these ends. Although it may seem fairly ambitious to achieve real-time distribution of vast virtual worlds across billions of simultaneous participants, I hope I can convince you, eventually, that it s not that big a deal really.
