Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Help! Quick! I have no audio. Is this as cool as they say?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Is this as cool as they say?

Yeah.

Um... wow.

OK, they just typed "Notre Dame Cathedral" into an image search (Flicker) and it automatically created a 3-D image of the cathedral that you can move around in, zoom in, etc. And if there's metadata available, you could zoom into a saint and it would tell you who the saint is.

To see it is much more amazing than it can be described....

Very cool. Astonishingly cool.

("mind-bogglingly" - is that a word? that one can say out loud?)

Yeah, but not 10 times fast.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Yeah, my mind is more or less blown.

Imagine something like Google Street View, but it can be manipulated and hyperlinked to something else, using all the public Flickr photos on that database.

It's just... it's like the world of Second Life, but it's our world.

Seriously, that was the coolest demo thing I've seen in years. The phrase "This changes everything" might be a slight exaggeration; then again, it might not be.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

It crashed my browser.

Oh well. In the great march towards the World of Tomorrow, Tom gets left behind....
