“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.
