I was probably officially the last person in the world to see the most expensive and biggest 3D film ever made, last night. And it really was all that and a bag o’ chips. Now I can’t wait to join Alice in Tim Burton’s 3D Wonderland this Sunday!
Farewell 2D, then. There goes one more thing I’ll have to describe to the confused and disgraced faces of my kids one day when they ask me what on earth we did “before 3D?!?!”. “We used to have these big mirror-covered music CD’s (that turned out not to be so ‘compact’ after all). And we had big cameras separate from our cell phones, and heavy,rectangle black video tapes with 2D films on them, as well as designated areas where we could get Internet access...life was hard back then! ”
I will also have to explain to the next generation how I did not have an avatar when I was younger. An avatar is commonly known as an object that represents a computer user. It’s a digital person that a computer user can create and customise in whatever way they choose. Today millions of people have avatars in a virtual world somewhere, such as 'Second Life', 'There' or 'Meez'- online communities where only the imagination is the limit. Everyone’s doing it. More than 600 million people today are ‘living their lives’ this way. Soon we all will.
It turns out that wishing to be Alice is not the far-fetched dream it used to be!
