[citation][nom]Athreex[/nom]I agree with this guy. Although I don't like Second Life. Guys SL is not just a game. Gaming on Second Life is just a portion of this entire Sim community. People run business out of it. There are professor teaching courses inside SL. There musicians that get some REAL money in the USD/Linden exchange (they play instruments,sing, opera,jazz). It's like a virtual trade center.I know all of this because I have friends that plays SL. Why I don't like it? Well, come on, all of this can be done but, it is not the same thing going to hear some music in SL than going to some Live concert, or go to a real class, or a real work meeting. There's so much that it's being missed. Actually, my point is a contrast between Second Life (activities being resembled as real through a computer) and REAL tangible Life.[/citation]
At what point is virtuality superior to reality?
It's coming, and the physical world has far too many restrictions...
Imagine learning the contents of years in school in a month, imagine never having to leave your own home, imagine never working (I know everything in my job could be 100% automatized. Robot to do my job, computer and satellite grids to drive transport trucks, software to automatically take care of logistics, another robot to fix anything that breaks etc).
When we reach a level of 100% work atomization, what will we do?
Oh, and this seems like crap to me...
