This is the biggest problem; universities don't want to cross domain/discipline boundaries but like to talk about it. We have found it quite a problem; using technologies that render established practice to the trash can aren't being received enthusiastiaclaly. "Resistance to change" "Not invented here", will finish my career are the underlying replies; history is repeating itself. Why cannot teachers be replaced by intelligent agents? Surely repetative jobs should be automated be reliable consistetent AI asap to release human creative expertise.

I was glad to find this group. I'm working with BBC Worldwide to turn my book series into a transmedia property, with the MMO component playing a central role. The books involve a vision of the future that includes some of the items on the "Opening Comments" list. So I'm here as a virtual worlds strategist and also as a futurist author geek.
