Does anyone remember that scene in Lawnmower Man where the "smart" guy straps his girlfriend into a video game so they can have sex?
Well, apparently some people are so interested in this concept, sex in games, that they've established an actual conference about it - the
Sex in Video Games conference to be held on June 6-8 in San Francisco. I know sex sells, and sex used to be the
driving force that got both the VCR and the WWW into people's homes, but an actual conference on how to create "Massively Multiplayer Online Erotic Games"?
I'm not sure if we're going too far down the path to create a society of shut-ins, or not far enough! Can you imagine? People would never leave home! It would be just like that society Isaac Asimov wrote about in
The Naked Sun.
