But as the online experience congeals with this “real” life that we’ve spent over 250,000 years getting used to, so does the way we interact socially with one another. The division between online and offline life continues to blur with every advance in mobile and digital technology. ]]></description></item><item><title>Augmented Reality Check</title><enclosure url="http://www.agency1903.com//media/23249/ar blog med image.jpg" type="image/jpeg" /><link>http://www.agency1903.com/blog/2010/10/25/augmented-reality-check</link><pubDate>Mon, 25 Oct 2010 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><guid>http://www.agency1903.com/blog/2010/10/25/augmented-reality-check</guid><description><![CDATA[ Remember laughing at past movie characters as they would physically interact with “highly advanced computers”?
