Ok, I (being a geezer) am late to this Gen X party but...
Last PM I see this hour long story on TV concerning on-line gaming. (I recall some time back reading in some financial magazine that people were actually spending REAL dollars to purchase land, rent store space, sell avatars in this on-line FAKE world. All very puzzling to me.) The TV show introduced people making several thousand dollars per month. I believe they said McDonald's, Pepsi, Nike, and others OWN stores in this FAKE world. I forget how many MILLION players (worldwide) they now have?
So confess, any Pelicans spending time there? And please explain ...WHY? Escapism? Is the REAL world doomed to second place as virtual worlds take over?
If I build a race track there ...will they come?
