I lie down in the couch, distracted in memories. Involuntarily, I look to the television ahead the couch, in a wood shelf. A thought flourish and block my other unhappy thoughts.
"Connect" I command towards the television. The world should not have changed so much, right?
As expected, the television itself binds. This TV probably has several languages that can understand your system. I understood even my Portuguese.
Back, he is currently in an interview. I look at the content that passes. An excerpt of a program, which appeared to be at first glance, strikes me; An Asian woman in formal attire, sitting, question to a man sitting beyond:
"So how do you think will be the impact, in general, of this virtual reality?
Giving a small smile toward the interviewer while tidying his white coat, the man says, "A little ... magic I can say ... 'Rise Mystique' it will be a place where people can do what they wanted or dreamed . One place with endless possibilities, this is what we seek to create.
"Since I have created is so advanced, he created things that are beyond our imagination," he concludes sarcastically, "To us, the creators, we do not know where that virtual reality will lead us. "
"Are not you afraid that this 'game', if you let me say, can create problems? As political conflicts, crimes, etc.," the interviewer keeps asking after hearing the answer.
This story has been taken without authorization. Report any sightings.
"Good. This was another one of the reasons why we have created this game. To create a place where 'certain problems' are resolved, without the normal people are involved. We had high acceptance by other countries. "
"So for the crimes? "
"Okay, so we were thinking about just ... do not interfere at all."
Your answer cause shock me, the interviewer, and probably all the other people who were watching.
"You could better explain to us that," in a confused tone she inquired, "This game will probably have a major impact to the world, as it has more promise than the virtual realities that precede it would be sure not to interfere at all?
"Yes, the real world and the virtual world may even be equal, but there is a tenuous line between them. A line that can never be outdated or broken. "
"Let us look at the example in virtual reality, you can always have a chance to restart. But, in real life? They would have a second chance after death? Trying to make people incenses to pain or crimes, it is impossible, even in virtual reality. "
"Wars are not caused, they are started. Where there is good there will also be evil, "I speak this phrase to myself and then reflect inwardly," It seems these phrases apply anywhere. '
I quickly turn my attention to the interview.
He continue: "We created this game so you can also think about it. Treat this virtual world as their second world. His second home. "
"But I notice ... The real will always be the 'real'. Nothing can change that," he says, in a tone very grave and serious.
"I understand," the interviewer shakes his head.
"So we end our interview here, seeing how a person like you have a tight schedule. Thank you for the presence," thanking, she smiles towards her.
"It's nothing," he smiles back. Then get cut to commercial.
'This looks very promising. A virtual reality. Maybe I should try? '
But then I remember that I am a man who was probably dead while sent to another world with 16 years. And that was a hundred years ago.
'I must talk to Richard about it later,' I conclude.
