Second Life is still something for the early adaptors. In 10 years at the latest, however, kids will spend their time in virtual reality, and since feelings can be just as real there as in the real world, it’s no use running around the house with a sword to protect your own daughter from bad guys. House arrest is of little use. Computer ban perhaps, but how is that supposed to work when the computer and the Internet are essential for the fulfillment of school obligations?
My idea: Watchdog for virtual worlds. I’m opening an agency for parents who want to know what their children are doing in the virtual world. This can also be expanded: Wives will have to hire detectives who are familiar with virtual reality to uncover their partner’s infidelity.
Imbecility? We’ll see 🙂
