The newest media already reflects and integrates our nature more than any of the past.  We can't talk through the TV.  We can't interact with the radio.  We can't initiate a business transaction through print.  Not like the power of the Net.  The synergy making a socio-technological phenomenon.

Intro to the 4 Winds of Change:
 Above are the 4 forces driving the Net toward the 3 dimensions VWN explores, cultural, virtual, socially conscious - and their evolution toward fully realized virtual worlds - 4 Winds continuing to merge and accelerate into a world wide hurricane.

The 4 Winds are dedicated as dynamic social commentary on the evolvement toward not just fully artistic and social virtual world settings, but also by the 4 Winds impact on the emerging global culture.

Of the 4 Winds of change - each particular reader will have an area they would normally be completely disinterested in. But as we look at something such as E-Commerce (the area I previously ignored) - and see how the nature of the Net is changing the business world and then see how it is changing for the better and then see how, as always, the way we do business impacts the way we treat our daily social contacts... You will find in-depth looks at how each of these human arenas are changing and permeate our daily lives. All this to become the integration of the 4 winds to create a new human sense of psychological space.

To start toward the 3 dimensions of VWN we have a 4 part/wind overview of VWN’s push toward the 3 dimensions.  These are just the first articles of the 4 Winds so please use the links at the top to get to the start of the the 4 winds later on: Art,  WWW,  E-Commerce, Interactive Industry.  This is not a state of the union for today and tomorrow in these arenas - the scope is already bigger than that.  These primers can only excite the imagination about the future of the 3 dimensions; cultural, virtual, socially conscious.  Try any one - specially the one you are least likely to click on first.
