Back to my comment about the 'far-future'. Lets say, in 150 years or so, or whatever number you wanna use... we are so advanced, that you will be able to put some sort of equipment on your head (or simply just "switch on" electrodes in your brain), and you are instantly transformed, as well as every sensory organ you have, to a place of virtual reality.
In that place, every SINGLE thing is the same as real life. You can touch, taste, feel, and smell other people.. and there is absolutely no difference between "it" and real life, and you can switch "it" off at any time.
With that in mind, can you now come up with a reason that real life would be better than virtual real life?
*We could instantly go to raves. And it would be the same.
*We could hang out in any environment we wanted. Want to create an island and come drive a boat around with me in the caribbean? Lets fucking do it. Want to see Alaska? Well I got this new module from Google (lol) that is an exact landscape representation of the state.. lets go find some seals to play with.
*People could even have sex with others without fear of STD's and then INSTANTLY leave their house (holy fuck thats awesome LOL LOL).
Wow im blowing my own mind right now just thinking about it, RAVE!

haha that would be fantastic, i agree. but like i said, i am VERY old fashioned.
it will be just like reality in every sense, yes, but the fact that it ISN'T would bother me a lot. i just think that most strong emotions and relationships are best left experienced naturally, otherwise we'll be stuck in a world similar to Huxley's feelies.
I want to be able to miss you guys, not have the opportunity to see you guys whenever I please because everything would eventually just lose its value.
