At lunch today I had a lively debate with a friend who argued that, because virtual worlds will always be second best to ‘real life’ socialising (in his opinion), it’s all just a fad and will never go mainstream. I, of course, disagree. As one of the counter-arguments, I like this quote because it’s a reminder that it isn’t so black and white. Click image to enlarge
For many people, life’s circumstances don’t make it feasible to go out and socialise every night; virtual interaction isn’t always a substitute for ‘face to face’ and for some can actually enrich their social life from what it'd otherwise be.
