Kimberly Clark and Virtual Reality Simulations:

After seeing this video I really felt i learnt a new concept today about virtual reality simulation. In my opinion even though Simulations are going to help the retailers in the way they can organize their store and also help in many planning activities, but I still think doing a grocery shopping totally in a virtual mode is not possible, visual simulation are ok for packaged products but if in case of someone needs to buy the vegetable or meet the customer would like to touch and feel how the product looks like. Also it is not clear to me where these virtual environment will be setup for the customers.

The Future of the Internet; from the Pew Internet & American Life Project

I read the article 'The Future of the Internet III' , it was informative. It is very clear that Internet is going to touch every electronic device that we will use. the primary mode of the Internet access is going to be hand held devices. the primary interface for accessing the information will be by touch or voice recognition. There is always going to be concerns about the privacy but companies should take necessary steps to have proper privacy control established.
