Google Testing "My World" Second Life Rival?

Tjeerd writes "Rumors of Google's plans to create a virtual world that rivals that of Second Life have popped up once again over the weekend. The company could now be collaborating with Arizona State University to test the 3D social network, which may be tied into Google's current applications of Google Earth and Google Maps."

I don't understand.

I don't understand how virtual realities like this have become popular. Do people's real lives suck so badly that they need to frivolously spend money to create their own little world where things don't suck?

This just underscores problems with society at large. Instead of meeting people the old fashioned way (face to face) many prefer to meet new people by electronic means. When they can do so, they can mask how badly their lives really suck and make them at least virtually interesting. Many people out there just need to get laid. It's a lot cheaper than spending money and getting nothing to show for it.
