Possibly, if you're looking to improve yourself in some manner.


If not, then no, you'll be the same slice of shizzle you always have been, just exposing yourself to many others online across the planet. laugh

Because it is in itself *virtual*. People can be very deceiving online hiding behind a screen and profile (which could be even fake)!



I am much more comfortable evaluating people from real life.

As I understand it, virtual reality can't 'make' anyone do anything, given people are autonomous and virtual reality is not. I suppose you could argue that creators of virtual reality may manipulate a change in users in some way. dunno

People may use virtual reality as a stimulus, or medium for creating change within themselves. Whether that change equates to a betterment, or not is perhaps a matter of perspective.

Reality is the state of things as they actually exist, rather than as they may appear or might be imagined. In a wider definition, reality includes everything that is and has been, whether or not it is observable or comprehensible. A still more broad definition includes everything that has existed, exists, or will exist.

from wikipedia

Now to the Original question ; Yes it can make you a better /worse person

Yes it certainly can ,

Best picture of yourself up on your profile .{even some one elses will do .
No one can hear you Farting all the time .
No one can see how you eat like a Pig .
Dont have to wash or shower for weeks as you dont have to meet people in reality .
Sit in the same room as your poor wife and 12 kids and make claims your single .

I could go on but that will do for now .
