The most disruptive trend in connecting people in a new way is what I call connecting virtual and real. People are building almost like a mirror world of the world, and making that virtual world connect with the real.
San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) November 23, 2009
Nokia Executive Vice President of Services, Dr. Tero Ojanpera, says on IdeasProject that the most disruptive trend today in the world of communications technology is how people are using the Internet to build a virtual world and connecting it with the real world. Dr. Ojanpera says the mirror version of the real world we are building will enhance the sophistication of communications across the globe by enabling the person on the virtual end to experience remotely what the person he or she is interacting with is experiencing live.
IdeasProject was established by Nokia to provide a unique way for individuals, thought leaders and “Ideators” to share their big ideas about the future of connected communications. IdeasProject website features thought leaders in communications technology discussing some of the most important developments in technology today. For more on Dr. Ojanpera’s big idea, please visit:

“The most disruptive trend in connecting people in a new way is what I call connecting virtual and real,” says Ojanpera. “People are building almost like a mirror world of the world, and making that virtual world connect with the real.”
Dr. Ojanpera is a native of Korsnas, Finland. He is a lifelong advocate of the use of technology to enhance connectivity and communications. He came to Nokia in 1990. Through dedication and hard work, he climbed through the ranks, from principal engineer to Vice President of Radio Access Systems Research through to his current position as Executive Vice President, Services.
“Dr. Tero Ojanpera’s ideas often foreshadow a real transformation in the world of global telecommunications,” said Valerie Buckingham, director of brand management, Forum Nokia Developer Communities. “His thoughts on the concept of one person experiencing remotely what another is experiencing live have so far proven to be accurate. We look forward to featuring more of Dr. Ojanpera’s provocative ideas on the relationship between the virtual and real landscape on IdeasProject.”
