Are Seadragon and Photosynth examples of what our media could look like in 2010?

A lot have happened between my last post and this one. The 2 most important things are that I've graduated at the HAN University in Automotive Engineering and i've got my first full-time job at Reed Business. Offcourse i experienced lots of other things too, but at this moment i don't have much time to blog about all kinds of small jibber-jabber.

Anyway, today i saw a short presentation on the net that i wanted to share with you guys. Shall this be the next way to read your local paper or favorite magazine in the near future? Can we walk all over the world in a photo-realistic environment and interact with each other (like SecondLife or something like that)?
