Marshall
Brain, founder of the very successful
www.howstuffworks.com<http://www.howstuffworks.com/>,
is writing a book entitled The Day You Discard Your
Body<http://marshallbrain.com/discard.htm>.

transition from our current, real life, meat-world into Virtual
Environments(VE). The way Marshall describes it in his book is, of
course, one of the

It explains exponential acceleration, and the implications of it. We won't 
have to wait for VE's to become audiovisually immersive for a long time. 
Those type of VE's will be here very shortly. Read The Future Of
Computers<http://jwbats.blogspot.com/2005/08/future-of-computers-2.html>for
