Broadband Wireless Internet is Here Today
• Create Wireless Internet “Watering Holes”
– Ad Hoc IEEE 802.11 Domains
– Real Broadband--11 mbps Going to 54 mbps
– Security and Authentication can be Added
– Home, Neighborhoods, Office, Schools?
– MobileStar--Admiral Clubs, Starbucks, Major
Hotels, Restaurants, …
– UCSD—Key Campus Buildings, Dorms, Coffee
Shops…

How Will You Know
if The Kids Are on the Internet?
It connects to the audio piece and
works like a tiny monitor that
projects an image through the
really cool bug-eye monocle into
my eye. It has lots of ‘serious’
applications, but my favorite is to
watch ‘Buffy’.
My mom has already realized that when the video is
on, the lenses become less transparent. That way
she knows if I’m really paying attention to her or
reading my email. She’s caught on quickly.

Multiplayer Computer Games Form
Interactive Fantasy Worlds
• Persistent Evolving Worlds
– Players Build Cybertowns
• 3D Multiplayer Worlds
– "EverQuest The online, real-time fantasy world lets
players assume the roles of warriors and wizards for days
on end... As the decade closed, this was the nearest you
could get to being on a Star Trek holodeck."
