My Mood:

I voted NO because in most context, it is a virtual world and not a real world. It’s easy to blur the line between the two but that’s a result of our need to place things in neat little piles for our psyche to absorb. We pick up and respond to all the cues that the real world throws out at us because some very talented and imaginative people were able to mimic those cues. Is it real? No more then the image that I see in the mirror looking back at me.
The image is real, but the mirror reflecting that image is just providing a service.
