From what I can tell, this article talks about the internet (aka 'cyberspace') about how it's becoming more and more of something we live with, and literally depend on most of our lives.
It ironically reminds me of my last school year in High School, of how my English teacher brought up about how texting (with cell phone)... even if people were right next to each other, would do so like it was water. It's becoming more and more of the main form of communication, changing our normal way of talking to one another, in comparison to YEARS ago.
In ways of looking at it, yes, the internet's been taking over as one of the main means of communication. That was probably the similar case when the telephone came out; it changed the methods of how one can talk to anothere. This is no different.... just a different means.
I never heard about this 'Second Life' game, but from the sounds of it, it sounds like 'The Sims', except for adults. Not for it, nor against it. In general, the games themselves, with a bunch of people who play together, having fun, talking, laughing... is just another form of how we communicate, how we create fanaticism.
The internet's good for not only as a form of chatting, but as a tool. Sure, it can be corrupted at times, with all the bad things out there, but that's just depends on how the user uses it. I, personally, can't go on without checking out my Facebook or my email after a day or two; it's an exaggeration, but it shows how much of a great invention we have. It's used for both personal and public needs.
It could be taking us in, but it's sure a great thing to have. But like anything: too much of a good thing can be bad for you.
