Hypes, hopes and actualities
Question:
Will there ever be a time where the hypes and hopes take over? and reality is no longer really real?
This article focused a lot on the hypes and hopes of the internet and what is possible. When you get into this realm it is easy to get carried away and forget about the limitations that reality puts on these possibilities. The hypes and hopes were mostly about the ability for someone to make a different virtual life where they can be any kind of person they want to be. This can be done and some people can get carried away and live in a virtual world but how realistic is all of this? I was pleasantly surprised that at the end of this article the author really brings it back to the here and now and reality and makes sure the reader understands that these ideas are still pretty far fetched. You can be a different person in a virtual world, but the idea that you can then just disconnect that from your real life is not very realistic. This author does a good job of showing you the possibilities if there were not limits and not human effect while still keeping it in perspective that there is a real world that everyone has to live in as well.
