It seems that these days many people have blurred their virtual world with the real world. If you doubt what I’m saying, why not queue at the airport, DMV, or even Starbucks and just count how many people are on their smartphones or personal tech devices busy texting friends, checking other networks social, or read news online. I imagine that with the amount of people busy online these days, you could easily stand in line and no one would be the wiser. They are too caught up in their multitasking world, one that doesn’t even exist, just online in ones and zeros.

Of course, this brings me to the topic that I would like to discuss with you today. Eventually, you will live vicariously in the virtual world through an avatar, one with artificial intelligence, one that can even predict your next move before you even think about it, and it will ask you if that is something you would like. That is already happening, right? Perhaps you have one of those applications on your smartphone device that connects to a GPS unit and knows where you are and when you are passing your favorite store. Have you noticed that they are starting to send you coupons and deals as you go by?

You didn’t even think you wanted a Starbucks yet, but you’re passing a Starbucks store and you get a text message or email alert that they are making a sale on pumpkin lattes at 30% off. so of course that sounds good to you, so you readjust your route and enter the parking lot. Are you starting to see how the blurry reality between the virtual and the real world is being produced?

Over time, you may be able to buy clothes, and your avatar will try them on, and you can watch them on those new online threads to see how they look on you.

The digital image will appear on your tablet, and your avatar will have your exact measurements, and the inventory of the virtual store, a warehouse near a FED EX center or a UPS terminal will verify if it is in stock. . Hit a one-click button and it’ll be there before 10 o’clock the next morning. That’s amazing, but this is just one way that your artificial smart avatar will begin to bridge the gap between the real world and augmented reality.

The number of apps for things like this will increase, but they will be subtle changes, and you may not even realize how quickly things are changing in the way you do your life. Consider if you want to spend a good amount of hours on social media, but five or six years ago they didn’t even exist. Imagine what it will be like in five more years, or five years after that, or five more years.

Are you starting to see my point here? You’re probably not even noticing the changes that have already occurred, not to mention the subtle changes that are happening in real time. Consider all of this and think about it.
