Our 17th Episode on Social Jack TV!

Game designers create virtual worlds and avatars that allow people to play, but what if there was a virtual recreation of our ACTUAL world that could be experienced in virtual reality? And, what if the land and buildings could be claimed and owned by anyone? Serial entrepreneur Daniel Popa, who emigrated to the US from Romania, has an ambitious new startup TimeWalk that aims to recreate and render the entire world – inside and out – so that you can join your friends in a parallel universe that’s made of “real” people. It’s the new Land Run and it’s coming faster than you think. We’ll also explore the future of telecom and how the changing communications habits of people are evolving the industry faster than ever anticipated. One of Daniel’s other companies, QuickCall.com, aims to capture market amidst the chaos.
