Why use my imagination when I could plug into a world that is undistinguishable from the real world, and do anything and anyone without fear, morals or lack of money?
I would love to go to the space station, but I don't have $20 million lying around, and I don't think NASA will pick me out of all the other candidates. I would love to fight in some futuristic war without the fear of dying in real life. I would love to walk in on a cheerleading team in the locker room and, well I don't think that I need to explain the rest that one. I wouldn't do drugs in real life, but could do them in the virtual world without risk of addiction, bad health effects, or the law.
Yes, I can fantasize about them and that's fun and all, but it would be different if you could experience it, even if it is connected to a machine that over-rides all of your senses.
