Question: If it were possible would you choose to live in the computer world instead of in reality!?
Not saying I hate reality or anything but I always wondered, if you were able to reach into the computer and enter a supposed world beyond, where you could become part of the information transfers, games, communications, etc!. would you!?Www@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
I have two answers!.
Yes and no!.

Yes, I would, so I would not have to deal with the problems I have today and have to come in reality!. I could be anything I wanted to be, and I could just start over and over on another life with another character!. I would make so many accounts, and be so many persons!.

No, because I would get lost!. I would forget my old passwords, I would forget my internet friends!. I would never find TRUE love!. I would not even be a PERSON!. I would be a fake computer game that little boys like to play, and are addicted too for no more than a month, but eventually get married later in life, and forget all about their childhood video/ computer games!. also, I would never learn from the mistakes I made and will make, because I would just be able to make a new account and be another person!.
I would never die to see the grandparents I never new, or the sisters that died of old age!. I would just be stuck in a computer again being used over, and over again!.

Sometimes computer world makes you feel safer and happier, but reality is better!.
You can BE the person in real life, not a stupid avatar you made!.



PLUS: I don't think that there is Powerade in the computer world! :DWww@QuestionHome@Com

It sounds enticing but I think it might just mirror this world - there are plenty of trolls on here; and I am a technological dyslexic!. I'd probably get caught in some virus or stuck between windows!. I'll take my chances in the real world as at least i have here as an option to escape to and I know it and its pitfalls!.( also I am up to level 10 in real life)Www@QuestionHome@Com

No!. Too much data, too much information, too much noise, too many people!.!.!. I won't be able to control a single thing!. This, frightens me a bit!. Being a rather low profile person, I would stick to my reality!. I think, I would feel safer!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

no!. the computer isn't real enough!. if i could go back and live 40 years ago, i'd do it!. people were a bit stupider back then!. or perhaps not stupider, just a different stupid!. we're all stupid!. why would i feel like living in a computer if i wasn't stupid!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

even though computer seems smarter and more beautiful but nothing beats reality for me even though I got wings in my spirit!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Definitely, so long as I got to inspect the system I'd be living on before hand and understood the true nature of the reality I'd be experiencing!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

That would be surely more interesting than fighting with the everyday problems of the real life!. But, yet!.!.!.I don't know!.
Reality is hard but computer is simply not!.!.!.real! It would be an "artificial life"!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

No!. I would live in alternative fantasy worlds, but in a computer!?!.!. No, that's not me!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Yes!. That would be better for me!. I understand teh computer world much better than the real world because I work as computer programmer!.

Maybe it would be easier for me to get a date!.
