Alter Ego

I have been reading Alter Ego for a while now.  As mentioned in the assignment turned in, I have read a little at a time throughout the semester.  There are a few things that come to mind when I am reading these individually unique situation.  When someone is handicapped physically but not mentally, I really think that this is a perfect escape for them.  I hate that our society is like this, but is a guy really going to like it if a girl in a wheelchair comes up to them at bar and wants to buy him a drink?  Or is a girl really going to like it if a disabled guy does this?  The brutal truth is, probably not.  This is extremely unfortunate and, to be honest, it is very unfair and makes me upset that this is how humans work in this world.  Moreover, it is what it is.  If a physically handicapped person wants to live his or her life almost completely online, then I have no problem with it at all.  One the other hand, if someone who is a very normal physical human being, being addicted to these games could really hinder them from other experiences that the world has to offer.   Human interaction is a huge part of life, and the more comfortable you are with it, the easier life becomes.  If one of these gamers doesn’t open themselves up to the life that the offline world has for them, then many opportunities could be missed.
