Cybercity

Greetings,
I agree that the 3D representation of the 2D data insinuated by a
cybercity of information based in buildings of relative information size
is a misuse of virtual space, but it would be handy to have that 2D data,
refering primarily to books, in some handy form of observation within the
virtual space, maybe, at least until everthing can be converted into some
3D form (Can it be). If, in the future, someone is working on a project
and has to reference something (i don't know what) that isn't rendered in
3D on the matrix, that person would have to leave VR space and get a
paper-based-information-propogator, i.e. books, magazines, etc.,
and that would take too much time, especially if that person didn't have
the PBIP. In that case, a virtual-based library might be nice, one which
is constantly expanding (for all those people who can't figure out how to
transform their information into 3D).
Have a great day,
