Reading 4: Second... Or is it Needs a Life?

I never realized how detached society has become until I started reading about second life. I mean, Games like World of Warcraft that take a person to a completely different world is one thing. But to have a world exactly like ours, with the exception of flying and transporting, is entirely different. have we truly become so socially inept that we can no longer enjoy and function in this life as it is? Must we really create ourselves in a new image and live in this paralleled world in order to enjoy life? And the fact that people have made millions selling real estate out there is just a sign of how detached people are now. In my humble opinion, this is a huge step in turning into a completely individualized society.
