Gosh…if I only had the readership of the Wall Street Journal! Exactly the topic I posted yesterday - the ill effects of online Second Life affairs - was the topic in today’s WSJ! Read this article!
This is serious. People are completely fabricating their self-images and investing their emotional and psychological essence into fantasy. Proof are the alter-ego avatars they create for themselves. ”Living in a dream world” used to be a derogatory comment about someone!
The moral costs of this virtual free for all are incalculable. This is a topic that will be exploding - unfortunately with mostly negative results.
