Virtual fantasy..pause and think, its certainly affecting us
Movies
Games
Anime
Toys
TV Shows
Human fantasy projected into a package for other humans to consume, and many times this consumption is totally automatic. just like reading this. while you will stop and think about the things you read, unfortunatly that dosent happen enough when dealing with virtual reality. What happens to the unfortunate mind is that it takes in everything virtual as almost real, and because the fantasy plays on only after thought/action/acceptance from the player..it becomes very much like how we would function in real life.
you may find this statement somewhat stupid, until you take into consideration the Thousands of hardcore gamers in singapore alone. To them...games or playing out a fantasy has become a major part of their life. Virtual reality can wrap you up in a dream, a artifically constructed and maintained by computers reality that you stay in and play out while awake
You can decide to STOP consumption of this fantasys, but in the mind of many people especially young children, this is impossible. They simply dont STOP to think about it First. Their acceptance of this artifical reality is automatic.
Game addicts..we have all read about them. lurking in cyber cafes or locked away at home. of all ages and personalitys
people who live in constructed fantasy. because every game, every anime, every comic book, is a carefully crafted world of its own.
while the game advances in your computer, it advances in your mind. while the words in a story book remain as black ink on paper, your mind however continues to play out the fantasy written within. and that changes you. simple not a fair trade at all.
everything starts with a step and ends when you stop walking.
Should you want to stop living in fantasy then take a step towards real life and remember to keep on walking.
Write it down and put it somewhere you will see everyday. Hardcore gamers..like me in a previous life. will always slip back to gaming. always unless You Control Yourself Everyday.
