The Virtual World

We are all longtime users of computers and have followed their development over the years. We transitioned from isolated computers to dial-up to closed access networks and are now surfing the internet. It is the troika of hardware sophistication, fast connectivity and number of individuals who are willing to pay for extra-cranial experience that have driven the market. Heads up, we are going in.

A Digital You offers you a chance to do things you would never consider in real life. Be who you want. Be someone completely different. See the Bruce Willis movie Surrogates if you need a visual. Creation has been the realm of those with the means and associated infrastructure to bring their ideas to life. But what if a radical cost reduction makes everyone a potential creator? We examine the options. Game Systems as specialized computers tuned to flood your monitor with images and immerse you in multi-channel sound are like the more handsome yet slightly less bright buddy who gets first choice on date nights. We show you the main players.
