Chaotic. But I am not experienced at all. :Þ

Don’t call me kid…‘90’s_kid’ or ‘alex’ is fine.
I would expect it to be more along the lines of chaotic /anarchaic/unrestful. Any virtual reality I have read about has been no where near restful or comfortable or normal. I think, by definition, virtual reality takes you to a place you can’t go normally. We used these same (or similar) terms while experimenting with exotic illegal drugs in the 60’s. These were trips indeed, but they weren’t normal and were choatic as Hell.
@Kid: I think I may have some peyote left over, jusy ask.
@kid I think you have gummy worms in your hair.
@RandomMrDan: I think you have an unhealthy obsession with the new Captain Kirk.
It’ll probably just male you sick. Just like last tom they tried VR.
I read Tad William’s Otherland series, and whenever I imagine the future of the Internet, I think of that chaotic world. It seems to me that utopia could never exist.
Just like the internet is today, it will be both chaotic and utopian. It’s up to you to decide which path to follow.
So your telling me that there is going to be virtual reality porno? Whhhhhhat!!!! When does this take place and will I need a special computer, how much is this gonna cost? Will comcast be offering it??? I need to know so that I can prepare some things.
Second Life is as close as it gets today and it’s pretty chaotic. I’d expect future attempts to be even more so.
