A Mix of Virtual World and Slow Boat (2)
|
Among the "haves", the utilization of multimedia technology is limited.
-
Only 14 percent of the "haves" possess the technical sophistication necessary to effectively use the available applications for either recreation or professional gain.
-
Many more desire to find ways to use it, but because of the quality of the supply of multimedia applications, are unable to achieve this desire without an excessive investment of time and money.
|
Upstairs/Downstairs is a mix of Virtual World for the technically sophisticated "haves" and Slow Boat for the "have nots".
-
The political environment is influenced by the pull between the "haves" and their demand for deregulation and public investment that will lead to Virtual World and the "have nots" and their demand for conservative, cost-conscious, and status-quo policies that are typical for a world in Slow Boat.
