I like my virtual life better than my real life!!!






Real life is better than any kind of virtual reality!!!

I admit that some games are fun and interesting....back in the day our family had sega - this was amazing to every child back in the 90s - a game where you were another identity fighting to save the world!! As technology advanced at a fast rate! it was playstation, playstation 2, playstation 3, xbox! (does it ever end!) each system trying to make the player feel as though they are in the screen....

The reason why virtual reality scares me is a particular scene from the movie "Minority Report", Tom Cruise enters an "area" , where people are in rooms living their ultimate fantasies and desires - this sounds great, however these "ultimate fantasies" can be people fantasising about murder, crime, etc. Obviously not real, but scary to think that in future this kind of stuff could be happening........it may be appealing to some - living in a world where you have everything right in the palm of your hand....but some virtual technology is not going to take away the fact that you are living in the real world!!! So we just have to deal with it.
