Online friendship might not be so scary or intimidating in the future if hologram communication can be developed for house hold use. What is hologram communication? To put it simply it is a device that allows people to communicate in virtual reality presenting the person in a specific location in 3D and in live recording. Please see this YouTube video to see what it might look like http://www.break.com/usercontent/2009/6/amazing-hologram-technology-755405.html. Do not be surprised that this might be a possibility before the year 2020 in people’s homes. Individuals would be able to have a virtual communication in 3 D live and it would be great if people could do this to facilitate friendship online. When CNN demonstrated this in 2008 it was mind bugling and so we should not be surprised if this becomes a reality in online friendship of the future. With this type of technology the possibilities could be endless in what people could achieve with online friendship. Just Imagine. http://gadgets.softpedia.com/news/Live-Hologram-Communication-to-Become-Reality-within-5-Years-1233-01.html
