I like to escape from real life once in a while. That's why I watch movies and read books. Sure, in theory the idea of escaping this world for a virtual one sounds great. But when do you become a slave to the escapism? Eventually it's time to rejoin reality. Living in a virtual world just negates responsibility, character building and any real emotional maturity. How do you grow and mature when you can get everything you want? I like real life just fine. I like touching real people and eating real food. I like the more intense emotions that come from knowing someone in person rather than from a virtual reality. I don't think I'll be leaving this reality for some false version that smacks too much of some post apocalyptic nightmare like The Matrix.
