In all honesty, when someone writes an essay that long with language that is above the understanding of a typical American student, it means that the writer is angry about something, is over compensating for something, or both. There had to be an easier and shorter way of explaining his opinion rather than a long winded lecture that MERELY SOUNDS INTELLIGENT. However, something was to be learned from the writer’s observations in regards to augmented space, virtual realities, etc. Personally, I have never looked at my living space or the basic technological advances I use every day such as bluetooth tech. or the internet, as augmented spaces or virtual realities. Even things such as speakers placed in a room he noted can be augmented spaces. Well, I can see some application to my current coursework in regards to this reading, but hearing it in this format was droll at best. It was hard to want to continue reading it. It was an eye opener once its main point was made. It is true that one day almost all space around us shall be composed of screens or monitors of colossal and microscopic sizes where entire buildings will be an interactive and ever changing space. The same can be said of side walks or roads. This future is enticing and is already unfolding in cities like Vegas, New York, and Tokyo.
