Second life or end of life

Is this what we have related to this early in our generation. “Second Life” seems like such a tragedy to me. If someone isn’t happy with their own life they can go to their second life and get the women and the money that seems so distant in their real life. When Teletubbies first came about there were critics who said its bad for kids to watch them. The reason being the TV’s on there abdomens promoted isolation and not socializing with friends. I thought that idea was ridiculous until right now. Teletubbies controversy may have been a stretch but the original thought isn’t so farfetched. With this second life people log into their names and sit in front of the computer hanging out in clubs with their friends or cool party places. It would sound all fine and dandy if there wasn’t a computer screen in between you and you were actually moving and dancing. This could be the end of humanity as we know it if it keeps up.

I agree. My fear is that we cease to see the value of physical human interaction. It's just time before we all become grumpy and uptight. All due to the fact that we need a real hug or love from someone in the real world.
Do I want to even go into the effects of Second Life on the music industry? If the virtual world takes over, hell may break lose.
