It's going to get bigger. The world of the avatar is certainly one that is interesting. As someone who just set up my own MII yesterday afternoon I think we are going to see a whole lot happening in this area, but that is for another post. *grin* Hadn't caught that Wired chart. Love it!

Didn't this already happen in 2006? With YouTube, Google Video, cheap video cameras at every concert, virtually every television station putting up online content, the domination of onDemand television, DVD sales surpassing movie ticket sales, the video iPod, tivo being a decade old, the Verizon VCast, widely available wireless broadband, the boom of flat-screen television sales overtaking new analog sales, webcams that offer facial recognition software to animated avatars, and MySpace making it super easy to embed video clips? Seriously, 2006 was the year of video. The only thing that hasn't happened yet as far as I see is the ultimate death of television schedules and the complete switch to on-demand for the majority of television watchers. 2007 will be the year of the avatar. Look at the trends: Second Life, Nintendo Wii's "Mii", IMVU, MySpace, Skype including avatars. All these major forms of communication and entertainment point toward avatars. Or as Wired magazine would put it: Wired: Avatars Tired: Video Expired: Podcasting I’m confused. Didn’t this already happen in 2006?

Fortunately, audio will live on and thrive... I think you’re right, and having Pulver as your inspiration that things will be happening is probably spot-on.
