My initial reaction was to laugh, but i guess it says a lot about how people are increasingly unhappy with real life, a great ammount of people already hide behind computers ect to access real life scenarios and often this replace stheir real life experiences.
The article talked about them experiencing another world and i guess after seeing that new shiney world this world would look crappy. In the avatar the humans can only really experience the world by living through their avatars and i think we ar eincreasingly moving towards that kind of world.
Surrogates was also an interesting movie in which they could have surrogate they controlled from the saftey of their homes, the surrogate can do pretty much anything without the human being affected and they can look how they like if they have the money.
old men can be young men, a man can be a women ect, they get to live their fantasies, only in real life they are shut away from actul humn contact.
It makes me wonder if that is the way we ar emoving towards, if eventually we will prefer to sit at home and go on some kind of life simulator rather than live real life, becaus ethe fantasy is better than reality.
I think most people who say it has them depressed ar eserious, they are probably already on the edge of depression and they want to live in some fantasy rather than deal with the reality.
I much rather prefer to deal with reality and live in the world we have, fantasy is nice and it should be fun, but there is no perfection, even if hlf these guys could go to pandora they would soon realise perfection does not exist anywhere.
sorry if that went slightly off topic there but my mind just went off in that drection lol
