How has technology become more intergrated with real life?

Cyberspace was once a place which only took place online. Now with the increasing development of technology, it can be argued that some forms of cyberspace are starting to become part of everyday reality.

In the 'Hacker Crackdown' Bruce Sterling described cyberspace as ' as the `place` where a telephone conversation appears to occur. Not inside your actual phone, the plastic device on your desk. Not inside the other person's phone, in some other city. _The_place_between_ the phones. The indefinate place _out_there_, where the two of you, human beings, actually meet and communicate.

With the growth of technology, real life space is merging with virtual life space to create augmented reality- A 3D space which reacts to a person's movements to change the perception of what they see. This makes the barrier between cyberspace and reality closer to the person.You would need a camera, compass or markers to be used on location.

Here are some videos I found using augmented reality
