There are many people who use email to send funny pictures and movies. It is not unusual for a film clip to come back again after a year, when it has spun around "on the Internet".
With Google Wave you can also attach games (in the form of extensions). I'm convinced that there will be will be a lot of people around the world who develop various funny things, which will then spread around on the Internet. Not only that, Google Wave supports multilayer games in real time. It is impossible to predict how these things will unfold, but it would not surprise me if many people that now send videos and pictures will feel compelled to switch to Google Wave so as not be left out.
This principle, to release forces free on the Internet, is extremely potent. There is an enormous creativity in "the world", waiting to be tapped. 20 years ago I started an experiment in the form of an online multiplayer adventure game where participants (after some effort) could extend the same game. It did not take long until the whole world (in the game) literally exploded by the most extraordinary ideas that I never could have imagined.
Of course, I really hope that there will be no problems with viruses etc. From the beginning, Microsoft Windows, Internet browsers and Office applications allowed almost anything do be done by scripts. Because of viruses and other types of malicious software, it is today severely restricted. In my dreams, I hope the day has now come where there is a trusted platform.
