There is more than one reality in this world or universe. The reality most commonly referred to is the one that we all subscribe to, the one where we all breathe air and feel the effects of gravity. What reality means more to humans? The one that we are all forced to subscribe to or the one that as individuals we put more of ourselves into? How many people do u think are sitting in front of a computer connected to the Internet right now? The more technology advances the easier it is to spend the majority of your time …..plugged in. A good example for what im talking about would be The Matrix Trilogy. A majority of the living human beings never even get to here the idea that this is a virtual world that they are plugged into. In the movie the ‘Real” world has gone to shit and now people are harvested by machines and never actually born, but plugged into a computer program, a virtual mockery of the world we all subscribe to now. My point is that “ who says which reality is most worth pursuing? Which reality will keep you living long a prosperous or short and terrible? The more that alternate realities like the Internet and videogames get easier and more instinctual to operate the more a divide is created in the species of man. The very thing we created to communicate more efficiently has or could be the very thing that divides us completely. A race of beings that only no contact through this electrical complexity known as a computer and a race of beings that know only the original senses that man evolved into having. Computer people and Pure people. I can see it all now…lol. The only way for this to work is if as individuals we figure out the balance between the realities that we are all apart of. I have a friend who admits flat out that World of War craft could have possibly ruined his life he wouldn’t have stopped playing. The more that he finds the balance between the reality that his imagination takes him into and the one we all see the happier he becomes.
Or maybe the ever-growing technological world is simply the new evolutionary level of man, maybe these alternate realities aren’t as dangerous as it may seem to us. Having millions of people subscribing to many different realities could really push the ideas of understanding the individual and collective perspectives. Maybe man will actually find a way to communicate even half way effectively.
