Have Virtual Worlds become addicting?

By coolnet560 on Jul 16 in Virtual Worlds 0 Comments

I've noticed something interesting. Since I started in There.com, it came to my knowledge now how addicting it can be. I can be on There.com for the whole day without moving. Scary, isn't it? I can be on for a whole week without sleeping (but I will never do that). There.com is a fun social interactive virtual world. Second Life, Twinity, Blue Mars, VIE, NuVera, etc... are all great as well. If you remember back in 2006 when Dr. Phil came on and discussed about There, he made some valid points. Virtual Worlds are addicting. We all need to becareful because if we decide to spend all of our money on virtual worlds than they shut down, we will have nothing in return. Look at Second Life. Have you played with the horses? They are cute and fun, and very addicting. According to my friend, we rent the horses and have no ownership of them. We all need to becareful on how much we spend and play on a virtual world. It is fun, but real life is more important than virtual worlds.
