Marc Ostrick and I continue our adventure into emerging tech with a return trip to Vegas for the 2010 International Consumer Electronic Show (CES). We're on a mission to take the lessons learned from our previous outings at Blog World Expo, The Twitter Conference, and The TWiT Cottage and apply them to actually building a live streaming HD studio with Robert Scoble. Robert, Marc and I have been monitoring the increasing approach to the horizon point of ubiquitous media delivery systems.

Who would have ever guessed that kids in the second millennium would be playing with plastic bricks designed by a Danish carpenter in the 1950s?

These social experiments started in 2003 and wouldn't even exist without the communication tools available through the Internet; they serve as another example of online communities transcending the web. There have been hundreds of Flash-mob videos since 2003. Spontaneous musicals, frozen people, pants-less subway rides, community cell phone calls... there are no limits.
