Interesting review by The Times on a Japanese woman's virtual life impacting her real life. The said lady was divorced by her virtual husband and so she logged into his account, murdered the avatar (essentially she hit the delete button) and then went on as normal. The murdered avatar turns out to be rather upset by having his life terminated and called the real police. Shes now facing a jail sentence for her actions. I have long maintained that peoples virtual and real lives will increasingly merge as we move forward into the 21st century, it's a key feature in fact of my marketing trends lectures. Some interesting evidence that this is already taking place is as follows;

1. The blackbury junkie. Someone who cannot bear to ignore that vibration in their shirt pocket that signals they have just received a new email message. (yes Roger, I'm referring to you my friend).
2. Ordering your SecondLife clothing so that you can wear it in the real world. Yes this happens quite frequently these days and I for one am seriously considering a black Nerhu suit for work purposes.
3. Emoticon crossover. Those of you who use in offline letters know what I mean here. Neil LMAO.
4. Falling in love online and marrying offline. I once nearly went there. Nuff said.
