Well, actually, uh, it's not the content creators that have to "wake up"=
 these days, ostensibly banged over the head by the "see if copy it" pro=
blem. No, it's the platform providers waking up (Facebook TOS) to the ne=
ed to ensure the permissions dimentions of commerce or fail. And while t=
he web itself will become 3-D, there is nothing inherently scientificall=
y required that Web 2.0 or 3.0 lock-step follow the iteration of Web 1.0=
 where forcibly interoperability and forcible de-walling of gardens was =
somehow the privileged norm. =


There's also, again, an ideological imperative here coming from the copy=
leftist Kevin Kelly "8 generatives" with the "customization will make yo=
u a living" shill and the shill of "just keep making new items faster pe=
ople throw them away anyway, stay one step ahead of the hackers". Again,=
 this isn't scientifically or even journalistically proven, that people =
don't have the support of government or corporate funding already actual=
ly make livings this way.

The virtual worlds that actually make money both for their providers and=
 their users, and not just special customers behind government or corpor=
ate firewalls don't have the luxury of imposing stone soup on everyone. =
Somebody has to grow the turnip and get paid for it, you don't make an e=
conomy by everybody bringing a carrot they swiped from another's garden.=
