Once accomplished, will the human species become so virtualized that we
unthinkingly bring about our own extinction due to the natural evolutionary weakening of our physical vehicle
from eons of "artificial exercise"?
Nah.....
While it may keep me from leaving the house for weeks at a time, no matter how excellent that customized AI Jessica Alba VR is, Tain't nuttin like da real thang.
Reference Point: Star Trek's "Holodeck" & The Matrix
VR will eventually evolve to a point of sophistication
where, without the awareness which accompanies intent, the level of mental and physical engagement will be indistinguishable from the real thing and we will have created a Matrix-like experience.
Did you know that Linen receives over 500,000 dollars every 24 hours from people buying virtual money to buy virtual furniture? Let me spell it, Five hundred thousand dollars every twenty four hours. They must be almost billionaires by now, that makes about 15 million dollars a month, which makes 180 million dollars a year. That's alot of money folks.
This can be useful. Just have enough sense to have a life outside of SL.

If one can imagine something, it can be achieved.
