Anywhere Quote by Mitch Kapor
“Virtual worlds are going to be a major disruptive element for mainstream society. The idea is that you might interact with other people in a manner that is virtually face-to-face. Each person could be anywhere in the world, but they interface with their avatars in a shared virtual world; it would feel like being in a physical room full of people.”
