Surrogate World

This was a post for my class, I felt like sharing it here.
In the movie Surrogate we see this world where people no longer meet in person but with their surrogate robots and they live through them. Do you see our world heading this way? Where we know longer meet to talk in our churches, coffeehouses and local community hang outs but we meet in our virtual worlds of facebook and Second Life. I see this as a scare for me because I read or hear of stories where people disappear in World of War Craft for days on end. I for one definitely get deeply involved in my virtual worlds, however I spend time working the tools of my trade. I am a Creator if you will, I want to contribute to humanity not have technology control . I influence with technology there is a huge difference with influence and control in technology. Information is no longer the power of technology, creation is the new power of technology. How can we use it to create and to influence humanity? This should be the new question.
