Virtual vs. Reality...
Yes, finally done with filming and my vacation CDS. So, hi
guys. Welcome to the Virtual vs. Reality post that I told you about. I am not a
professional in this area, but I can share my thoughts on this topic that has been
brooding in my mind ever since I re-watched “The World God Only Knows” series.
Keima and the Conquered
(Images itself are brought to you by Google)
Lets us begin with how this thing came about.
Firstly, let us begin with a bit of backstory. Katsuragi
Keima or the God of Conquest, is somewhat my role model and also one of my
favourite characters.
Serious Keima
My friends used to tease me in saying I look like him as
I walk while playing my PSP (but now I have a PS Vita), except for the fact that I have curly hair. This
got my interest, as it was kind of rare to see this type of character (I meant this as similar to me but a
character who is an otaku is normal), so I went to check out this anime. I
watch the first two seasons and enjoyed it. It was amazing as it resets the
girl’s memories after each conquest just like restarting a new game. But I
won’t go on to review the anime, so let’s just leave at that. I’ll review it
some other time with all its 3 seasons and two OVAs.
Let’s begin MY opinion on Virtual and Reality.
I’ll start by saying I prefer virtual to reality. I don’t
like to be shackled by the Earth’s gravity and limitations. I am sure some of
you guys can agree with me on this right? Anyone? The virtual world is
limitless as it is up to your creativity to make it grow. It expands as you
think and dream, generating endless possibilities. You can imagine anything and
it will come true. But there are some who will argue that it is just a bunch of
data, that it is not real and yes, I agree. I am still hopeful of the day where
“Amusphere”(I don't want the incident with the Nervegear to happen) from SAO or "Neuro Linker" from Accel World will be invented but I’ll most probably be dead by then. Not really
much of a future to look forward to.

Reality… I guess I do like it. True, I may prefer virtual to
reality but it is still just a preference. I cannot live without reality.
Nobody can. Without reality, virtual may not even have existed. Human beings
will always strive for the better and always want to compete over each other. These
emotions they carry are real and those feelings causes them to evolve. As they
evolve, everything around them does. Technology, life, environment etc. It
brings the future of virtual reality closer but still far from reach.
Why I say I like reality is because of interaction with my
family and friends. The feeling you get from communicating face to face is way
different from talking online. It feels much more fun to talk face to face as
you could see them and their reactions in real time. Another reason would be
that I’d miss the food. I can’t just live in virtual life all day consuming
data. I need my Pasta, my Nasi Lemak, my Ice-Cream.
Basically, I’ll have
lingering feelings of attachment to the real world if I stay too long in the
virtual world. But I’ll probably won’t regret being in the virtual world for
too long.
There are various pros and cons for both virtual and
reality. Both still needs their improvements as it is still far from being
complete. The ideal world to me is still
far from reach. But right now, I know what world I want to be in.
PLEASE LET ME ESCAPE FROM REALITY!
My vacation is ending and I have one week left till school
starts. NO!!! Give me back my holidays! My precious vacation! Come back!
