Take a dash of the real world and add a pinch of make-believe and hey presto you have a brand new synthetic world. That’s the kick off point for this weeks on air discussion on real and augmented worlds.

Phil and Bev of Radio ABC’s Today program and I work our way through the why, what and how of this brave new online world where we add to our existing physical world digital possibilities that gives us real-time real world information wherever we are, or an alternate world in which to live our cyber lives, buy online, study for post-graduate courses, meet others, travel to exotic destinations or even rid ourselves of phobias and ailments.

We even get into the ethics and morality of these worlds as we laugh and chat our way through another FutureTech segment.
