If you truly believe that a world limited only by what people create will be "no fun at all" you obviously never experienced what the rest of us would refer to as "imagination".

Second Life and Open Source Posted Dec 22, 2006 19:01 UTC (Fri) by mikov (subscriber, #33179) [Link] Big words. Obviously you think that people can enjoy themselves in avirtual environment which is not based on the real world; to exist as pure thought without form or boundary, sail freely limited only by imagination, exchange untethered ideas, etc, etc (bla, bla, bla). What a beautiful idea, sadly without much substance. People like to eat, to have sex, to dance, to play sports, to own a nice car, or at least to pretend to. It all boils to basic, primitive things. In a virtual world they want to experience things they can't really do in the real world - it is a form of escapism. I predict that the next step for virtual worlds will be to make them resemble the real world even more - wearing 3D goggles, special gloves, etc. Let's not kid ourselves - the ultimate goal of course is to make cybersex seem real.
