But deep down, everyone is convinced 'augmented reality' will definitely change our lives.We already experimented with it. Just for the fun of it: try it out on holdyourlion.com
People going to great lengths in order to make great looking avatars so they can dive handsomely into the virtual world, should definitely relax. Because things happen to work out quite the opposite way.It is the web that is seeping gradually into the real world. Because more and more 'things' out there get connected to the internet somehow. One technology helping to bridge the real and the virtual world, is called RFID.This podcast explains you everything about RFID. And about how RFID helps ...
The internet is a medium which requires authenticity.The internet has been a two-way mass medium for a while now. But before that, politicians and advertisers alike, could easily get away with sweeping people under the rug only to stop doing so and play mister Nice Guy whenever there was a camera close enough.Not anymore. With the internet being a two-way platform, politicians and advertisers alike are being scrutinized by the public 24/7. And pinned to the wall every time they're not being au...

If you thought things were quietening down, think again. We're in the eye of the storm. We've had a look behind the scenes of the Internet factory. And we'll share the most astonishing things that are coming our way.
Does a company still need a website? And if so, shouldn't it work like a take-away restaurant where if you see something you like, you simply take it to wherever it is you call home? Is there any point in a homepage now that everybody's Googling? And how does the Internet invade our lives after we shut down our laptops?
Online, virtually everything is being measured. Which results in tons of data. Are we doing anything with it? Does it give us any insights that actually make sense? Or should we simply involve our consumers and ask them what we'd like to know? And what if we not only get to know everything about our consumer, but also where he or she physically is at any given time? And what on earth does 'crowdsourcing' mean?
