Just how real is the Net?

[Blue]

When I was thinking of The Net, I was thinking about a place that would be like reality perfected. Kind of like a real world HD. Because they can literally put impulses directly into your brain, they can everything better. If I had to picture a look to the thing, I'd see it looking a lot like Tron, except... well, better. People would create avatars of themselves, so even the people would look perfect.

As for the prostitution thing, I can see that. Stim-jacking, as Sig puts it, isn't quite prevalent yet, but it is on the rise. As people move into a more and more Net-based lifestyle, those things that relied on reality for are in a quick decline. Some prostitutes have probably already gone into business online rather than off, trying to get a jump on things (hehe) while their experience can still be of benefit over the amatures who are sure to start doing it themselves.
