A funny thought that occured to me after waking up while still in bed thinking about what I read last night about virtual reality. I was thinking, what if people's constructed mental split between their real-life actions and virtual actions start to blur? What are the legal & eniviromental implications, not to mention business and economics? After all, what scientist are discovering in the field of Quantum Physics is pointing very boldly to the fact that what we experience with our senses represents a very tiny portion of reality. The unseen is much much greater than the "seen", according to them.
"Get a Second Life", more than one online article were titled. "What?!" was my reaction. "What about my first life? I'm having difficulties managing stuff in my first life; I'm not sure I want to add a second life now."
"Choose from our list of wide variety of last names", the Second Life registeration page instructed. "What?!" was my reaction again. "Changing my name? .. Now that's worth my meditation time" ;-)
Personally, I love my name, but I think I'm going to leave this post open to the readers' stands on this without me taking a solid position. I'm curious to know what other people think and feel towards a VR vs. SP (the title?) hypothesis and how they perceive it.
