		Jaron Lanier (born 1960 in New York City, but raised in Mesilla, New Mexico) is an artist, musician, inventor, virtual reality developer, public speaker, and member of the Global Business Network.
		Jaron was friends with Timothy Leary, and often looks at technology and media from the perspective of Marshall McLuhan.
		Some of Lanier's most interesting speculation involves what he dubbed 'post-symbolic communication.' A telling example is found in his recent Discover magazine column on cephalopods (i.e., the various species of octopus).

	Gregor J. Rothfuss: jaron lanier vs will wright on various gaming and VR topics
		jaron calls monoculture the biggest mistake of the IT industry, mentions that textbook publishers slipped through legislation to make non-book learning materials not part of the requirements, which stifled VR worlds.
		jaron wants to turn the question around, asserts that the best thing for a kid to become a highly performant mind is to explore things.
		jaron: the problem with AI is that there is always a need for a human to assess AI performance.

		Lanier still isn't sure why his father and mother, Ellery and Lillian, chose to move from New York City to the Mesilla Valley, near the border with Mexico, shortly after the birth of their only child in May 1960.
		Lanier was already gripped by the untapped communicative power of the pictures that computers could generate.
		Lanier's was not, really, a classical training; among its legacies is a method he devised for playing lightning-fast arpeggios on a piano keyboard after watching Nancarrow cut piano rolls to achieve the effect.

	CyberStage 2.2: Jaron Lanier Interview
		Jaron Lanier -- best known in pop-culture as the man who coined the term, "virtual reality" -- created the very first hardware and software with VPL Inc., the company he founded in San Fransisco, California.
		Post-symbolic communication is one of Lanier's basic tenets, that eventually VR systems may become advanced to the point where entire new forms of communication can evolve out of virtual environments, whereby one can create meaning instead of simply referring to it, which is what we do with literal language today.
		Lanier said we had it all wrong, that the very principals of post- symbolic communication which was the basis of Taylor's points "completely inverted" what he meant by it.

		Lanier as he tells it, fell into becoming the VR Guru sometime in the early in the 1980's by accident rather than design.
		Lanier is a articulate and when the V.R. craze was at a peak during the early 90's he became a bit of a media person.[1] In 92 a French company called Thomson leveraging some overdue in its loan payments, mounted a hostile takeover of VPL.
		Lanier was out and his patents, which he had used as collateral to secure with the funds borrowed from Thomson, were seized.

	Q&A with Jaron Lanier - The Boston Globe
		EVER SINCE musician, writer, and technological visionary Jaron Lanier coined the term ''virtual reality" in the early 1980s, and headed up efforts to implement the idea, he's been a member of the digerati in excellent standing.
		In ''One Half of a Manifesto," Lanier attacked what he dubbed ''cybernetic totalism," an overweening intellectual synthesis in which mind, brain, life itself, and the entire physical universe are viewed as machines of a kind, controlled by processes not unlike those driving a computer.
		LANIER: There are nerdy people who are tone deaf to the types of things I'm concerned about, and are going to continue to talk about technical details.

	Jaron Lanier On Software Design and Phenotropics
		Jaron Lanier is mostly known for being the guy behind the expression "virtual reality." For its special issue "Big [and Not So Big] Ideas For 2003," CIO Magazine talked with him about a new concept -- at least for me -- phenotropics.
		Lanier's idea is to create a new way to tie two pieces of software together.
		Lanier believes that phenotropics would allow for the development of bigger systems, perhaps a million times larger than the ones we can build today, because there would be no need to build connections between them.

		Jaron Lanier is an artsy-fartsy, computer nerd who can find common ground between dissimilar things like cephalopods and virtual reality or musical instruments and weaponry.
		A child prodigy whose playmates were scientists and engineers, Lanier enrolled in college at the age of 14 and dabbled in fine arts, music, activism, goat herding, and midwifery.
		This hopeful theory is based on Lanier's contention that virtual reality isn't an offshoot of video games or television, it's an extension of the telephone -- a means of contact between people.

		Lanier is a computer scientist and musician, a visiting scholar at the Columbia University department of computer science, a v siting artist at New York University's Tisch School of the Arts, and a provocative thinker on evolution, morality, and ideas.
		Lanier sees himself as a Darwinist who has no basic quarrel with evolutionary theory, but who doesn't believe it's the only or most apt metaphor for our lives.
		JARON LANIER: I'm worried that evolution is being used in the wrong way by all sorts of people who otherwise have almost nothing in common.

		I read the article the day it was first posted on The Edge and thought it so significant and so wrong that I wrote Jaron asking if the Institute could publish a version in a form similar to Gamer Theory that would enable readers to comment on specific passages as well as on the whole.
		Jaron is fundamentally resistant to the new emerging sense of the author as moderator -- someone able to marshal "the wisdom of the network."

		Jaron-watchers, of which there are a multitude since Lanier became the first technology figure to cross over to pop-culture stardom, will be pleased to note that the controversial and charismatic virtual-reality pioneer is alive and swell these days in spite of persistent reports to the contrary.
		Sure, he concedes, he went through something of a depression for a while there, what you might call a period of agonizing self-appraisal after his brainchild, the ground-breaking VPL Research, was wrested from his grasp.
		But, being Jaron Lanier, he is happy to analyze his difficulties for you on multiple levels, conducting a symphonic rap that is at once passionate, abstruse, and self-defensive.

	MetroActive CyberScape \| Jaron Lanier
		Lanier's pessimism might seem to contradict his earlier argument that software's inherent flaws will come to humanity's rescue.
		But Lanier says there is no contradiction: he's simply taking one scenario to its final ending point, an end that acknowledges the weakness of software.
		Rodney Brooks, director of the MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, suggests that Lanier abandon the notion "that we are different from machines in some fundamental, ineffable way" and accept the fact that all matter is essentially mechanical.

	TheExperiment \| Articles => Why software still sucks (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Fragmenting the software definition, Lanier says, would make it easier to apply professional engineering standards to categories where the expressive content of software is low -- infrastructure tools for example -- while at the same time leaving other designers free to experiment in categories where the expressive content is high.
		Regardless of the approach, however, Lanier says his purpose in writing essays such as the "One Half of a Manifesto" is to force engineers in both the proprietary and open source development camps to recognize that the issue of software quality has taken a back seat during the past decade.
		Again, Lanier says, the overall vagueness of the term "software" is both a reflection and a source of this cultural naïveté.
