on the virtue of being real

S.L. just drew my attention to this story (Warning: Some unedifying stuff): http://blog.wired.com/wiredscience/2009/03/realvirtuality.html

The gist: Virtual reality is being extended to take in all five senses.

The technology is, how shall we say, cool (and hot and sweet and sour and ...).

The potential uses range from vapid to depraved to creepy.

But my favorite detail is the name of the article as it appears within the URL: Real Virtuality

It's nice to know that the art of the clever (what used to be known as wit) has not vanished from the earth.
