Where do you feel yourself more alive, in the real world or in the Web? At home or at work?
Internet has changed our old world already -- by bridging gaps and removing most of borders of real world.
it gave us many new worlds: MySpace, Facebook, Netlog, SecondLife... Every stage of the Internet development brings up another brand new world.
We got lost between the real world and the worlds of internet. We got stuck in these worlds.
What we enjoy in these worlds can hardly be transferred to other worlds.
Like Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland, we travel numerous worlds, each of which has its own rules, conventions and borders.
Imagine a future with no boundaries between worlds.
A future with doors that connect worlds and let you decide on the world you would like to be in at the moment.
These doors ... things, people and events that exist in many worlds simultaneously. Such doors enable you to have something with you that was previously obtained in another world.
For example, 3D-printers can provide you IRL with your epic weapon from World Of Warcraft.
Let us take a step closer to that future. Let me open to you a couple of yet-non-expected doors connecting worlds of Web and IRL, "doing job" and "having fun", worlds of childs and of parents, worlds of private, public and community.

This future is becoming real for our kids right now. We here -- as parents, visionaries, entrepreneurs -- still have a chance to jump on the bandwagon. Let's not waste it!
