Wow, what an evolving world we live in…

Representative Edward Markey was unable to physically attend the
Bali United Nations climate change summit, so he sent along the next
best thing. No, not John Tesh - a Second Life avatar modeled after him.
“I have teleported here over the Internet,” he told the audience,
showing an understanding of technology that should send shivers down
any technologically aware US citizen’s spine.
Markey is chairman of the House Select Committee on Energy
Independence and Global Warming. He is also chairman of the House
Subcommittee on Telecommunications and the Internet. We’ve covered his
various Capitol Hill exploits here before, as he battles for Network Neutrality and the right for purveyors of Internet radio not to be forced to cede all profits to SoundExchange.

If you will excuse me… I must teleport to work, now…
