A new reality...

What I want to address today is the notion of "Virtual Reality" and how it evolved from something that is not even real to begin with. In this digital era, your facebook account is your virtual ID. Even employers check a person's facebook account prior to giving them the job. Also, some people find it easier to make friends online. Worse, some don't find their lives too exciting, so they play MORPG and little by little, lose all contact to the outside "real" world. 

It all started with:

Candy Candy

We were fed fairy tales and cute stories with happy endings, when in reality, none of it is true. This perhaps is one of the things that you want to believe, like the Santa Claus myth. Even when you find out it was just a lie, you still wish you were never been told the truth. Some people escape to their own virtual world by reading, others by playing music or listening to music. And then, of course. There is those who are addicted to MMORPG online games, or those hitched on facebook.

People escaping reality to live in their own "worlds" or even dreams, is a concept that reminded me of one of my favorite movies ever: Inception! Some people go t have group dreams, because their dreams became their reality...
