The consequences of universal augmented reality

There are things you cannot do in real life, at least not yet. For one thing, you can’t draw something in thin air for somebody else to see. You can’t place an audio message in a particular place in a room for somebody else to listen to later.

But soon we will be able to do such things. They will become as normal as SmartPhones are today.

As augmented reality simply becomes reality, a number of fanciful super powers will be taken for granted. Children will simply accept their ability to do such things.

I am curious to know what else will change once we have those sorts of super powers. Will these be things that we can now predict?

Was Google search an inevitable outcome of the Web? Did the introduction of SmartPhones inevitably lead to Twitter, or something equivalent?

What will be the equivalent consequences of ubiquitous universal augmented reality? I guess we might just need to wait and see. 🙂
