I have friends that play mmo's quite a bit so I've heard much about the relationships that go on. (I will play a tad now and then, but they generally don't hold my interest very long) I've hear of families that have many real life problems because of what they do in the virtual worlds. It's quite sad, but a growing part of the internet enabled world. |

Yowza! William Gibson was right: the future is indeed here, and it's not evenly distributed. |

There's always something for obsessive persons to get sucked into. Remember when Dungeons and Dragons was hot? And it got the players to actually interact in person. Mmm, meatspace. |

Growth Industry? Maybe my daughter should open a virtual law office. |

> Maybe my daughter should open a virtual law office. Does second life have a court system? If so, it sounds like it might be possible. In any case, a virtual office with pointers to the real one might be useful. |
