2010 and Beyond: The Matrix Era


10 Years ago, a revolution was started. A movie known as the The Matrix had been released in theaters all across America, changing how people saw technology and the ways it impacted our lives.

What was so special about The Matrix, was that it pointed out that most of us live in augmented realities, becoming so immersed in our own lives, that we didn't take the time to enjoy what was happening around us. When was the last time you sat quietly, turned off your iPhone and enjoyed nature? With so many people wrapped within their lives; going to school, working, going to the gym, socializing with friends, updating your Facebook status, I wouldn't be surprised if quite a few of you said no.

Have you noticed how we are beginning to move towards an age where we can be able to manipulate data at our will? I wouldn't be surprised if, in the next 10 years or so, some company released glasses with a real-time HUD (Head's Up Display), to view stock quotes, weather, and sports updates while walking down the street. Heck, we already have somewhat achieved this with the iPhone and many other smartphones. I'm actually eager to see how to the iPad will impact the mobile media scene as well. So, while on your way to class, or just walking somewhere, stop and carpe momentum you never know what you might discover.
