With the world of video games becoming more and more real and intuitive with each passing month will there ever be a time when people live vicariously through their avatars? Sadly, that day has already come for some. With such games as World of Warcraft, individuals are rejecting the real reality of life for a fantasy land of excitement and adventure. Creating avatars, or virtual identities, to live out their most wild fantasies and feel empowered in a somewhat mediocre life. With people more involved with life on-line than in society, how will these individuals continue to fend for themselves. Sure a utopian world of fantasy and exotic creatures is nice, but when is it time to grow up and face the real world and battle the demons of everyday life?
