Just how real is the Net?

[Sigfried Hunin]

Right, which is why it's an interesting idea to make it dangerous or otherwise exclusive. If everybody was constantly jacked into a perfect, physically and mentally stimulating world, you're right, they would never leave it. However, if you take the sensation out of it, it suddenly becomes dry and, at times, unbearable.

This is why I brought up the ideas of it being dangerous, illegal or impossible.
