Reading this book made me think how far away this kind of life in the Metaverse is in our lives today. At first I thought it wouldn't become reality for at least a couple of years. After watching tv the other night I'm not so sure we have that long before this is a reality to us all.
I was watching a ridiculous show called The Hills. Really all it is a bunch of little rich girls who go out and have fun, but have more drama then anyone could handle. Really don't know why I watch it, but oh well. Anyhow, at the end of the show they advertised for this thing they called the virtual hills. I would say it's sort of like SIMS. You make a character based off what you want to look like and are able to go out, talk to, and be a part of the life of the hills girls. So , basically you can act as though you are their friend and do everything with them over this virtual world. My eyes lit up. There it was, the "metaverse" coming to life before my eyes. Unreal! It really surprised me. They even show glimpses of the characters and they look real life as well as the settings and places they were at. Judging by this I think my first opinions of when this could really happen is a little off. It may be here sooner then any of us can believe.
