”[…] When we treat information systems as no more than conduits between human imaginations, grand vistas open up. The pleasant news computer scientists can infer from the public’s early embrace of computer tinkering is that we will not be serving a population of consumers, but rather of creators.
In the next fifty years, computer science will give birth to a delightful new vernacular art form that combines the three great art forms of the twentieth century; cinema, jazz, and programming.
The result will be a mass theater of spontaneous shared imagination and dreaming. My fond hope is that it will take the form of networked VR with inspirational authoring tools that are capable of quick, improvisatory creation. But whatever the specific form, what we are building will encourage people to share interior vision and treat it as a tangible, worthy thing, even into adulthood.”
