Becky's Blog

I have just been reading Becky's blog: http://rscofield.blogspot.com/2007/02/actually-got-passionate-about-part-of.html and found what she said to be interesting. I agree with what she said about people needing social interaction in the real world, not just through virtual reality. The Second Life site (i assume this is the site she was referring to) in my opinion is a load of rubbish! I could not think of anything less appealing than living a completely virtual life! The example of shopping that Becky gave is a good one, as it highlights how virtual reality and 'online' living affects us. It might be easier to shop online, but it can't entirely be blamed on 'busy' lifestyles.....online food shopping for example is a recent thing (who had heard of it before a few years ago?). I agree with Becky when she mentions laziness and it seems to be the start of a much larger phenomenom....what else will we use the internet for in the future?
