While what you have said is true Sky, we are in the worst case scenario spoon fed this reality, or in the best case scenario, we just miss an element or two due to our senses. Even if we very trapped in a box, it wouldn't matter. If there is no way out, even imagining a way out wouldn't in the end work. The movies which build on such fear always a log out ability. I'm doubtful we would have that, if we are truly plugged into a giant machine. That's why I don't deal with existentialism, it only messes with other things I could be doing and would be beneficial to (virtual) humanity.

The internet would be a virtual reality within a (virtual) reality. Our reality would still seem real to us, not matter anything else, yet a life lived in VR could be very dangerous, as, as I have mentioned in my previous post, you still have a physical body and the "chaos" of the world around you to contend with. Weren't you just lamenting the death of the baby of the South Korean couple, which was neglected due to an VR child? It only takes one single, minuscule event and things go the wrong way. The fact that cloud computing in this case only transfers the image of what is going on on their screen, is worrying, if not for anything else, for privacy reasons.
