Of all the things that need the funding of technology super-giants IBM to ensure they converge to make our lives easier, Avatars are certainly not in the top 10 (or top 50 for that matter…). Still, Vice-President of Digital Convergence (yes such a position does exist) Chris Parris has decided that since “It’s going to happen anyway” IBM may as well get a jump on the project. Mr Parris sounds singularly unexcited by the project (and who can blame him) and this is probably because he, like me, realises that there are a great many more useful digital systems that could benefit from IBM’s convergence division giving them the once over. Sigh.
