First Paragraphs:
In the midst of the Information Age, a time when technological advances are occurring nearly every second, it shouldn’t be a surprise that we often refer to our real lives as our offline lives, and time spent on the Internet, in chat rooms, online gaming, and social networking sites as our online lives.
And really, it all boils down to this. If you’re not terribly satisfied with how your offline life has turned out, you can simply rewrite it - to undo the past, recreate yourself, to be the fearless hero you’ve always wanted to be, or the gun-wielding maniac in a virtual shooting game. In virtual realities, you can escape boredom, depression, loneliness, and all the other unpleasant side effects of real life.
