Virtual versus Real - A critical view on the virtual from a social perspective

Do we really live now? … Do we realize what we do during a day? Is travelling through virtual time and space comparable to a journey in the real world?

The perceptions which is irritated and blurred by a non-linear virtual dimension without any material aspect cannot fully enjoy the sensations of the actual and REAL moment. We jump and switch and escape to past and future pictures and situations, forgetting the present, and creating more space between our real identity and ourselves. Space for anger, disappointment, stress and scare become weightier when leaving the virtual and create more surface to be attacked. Are we forced to forget who we are?
