“Being present” in the online age

William Gibson: 

For the moment, we live in both the physical world and in cyberspace, but the barriers between the two are blurring so as to become almost indistinguishable. “The online/offline distinction is going to be fully generational soon. Only old people will think of being on or off,” he says.

Soon, “being present in the moment” will mean having a choice of moments that we can be present in. One offline & many online. Although that is the distinction we make today. Tomorrow they will be equivalent.
