Second Life - Is REAL?! / Discuss

Ze Moo says:

I just watched the first part of a very interesting documentary series on BBC Four: "VISIONS OF THE FUTURE"

Second Life is also explored for a bit and the show predicts online 3D virtual worlds to become as important in the real world as 'e-mail'.

However, in the language used sometimes, it still makes it seem as if the 'real' world is seperate from virtual worlds. One scientist even spoke about 'Virtual-Reality AND REAL-Reality'

But on the website accompanying this series, I see a hopefull quote:

"how virtual worlds will become so realistic that they will rival the physical world. "

So here they fortunately use the word 'physical' instead of 'real'.
