There wasn't enough time to think, we'd be too busy starving to death and complaining that "kids don't get enough fresh air anymore, always up in their rooms staring a pages of books".
It would make real life less sexy, unless you include watching tv as part of that. Then the sexyness goes up exponentially because you're seeing more sexy people than you would without it.
An argument could be made for including tv images as "real life", as it's not much different than staring out a window. In either case there's no interaction involved, you're simply a passive observer. But looking out a window is clearly part of real life, so watching tv is as well.
All the intelligent people are indoors using the internet and not having children, while the perhaps less intelligent but athletic people are outdoors playing rugby, murdering prostitutes and dogging.
The internet will make reincarnation more interesting (if it's real.) Like if I come back as someone else in sixty years (I'm being optimistic) will I recognise my old message board posts?
They won't be here in 60 years unless some TKer decides to commit a horrible, sensational series of murders and the board is archived for public study on what could influence such a sick mind.
They're starting to archive old tv shows on the internet, maybe they'll archive the whole of the internet (computers will probably have a billion Gbs and be the size of a pencil by then, so why not?).
And then we can all look back and laugh and say "lol (which will have become a phrase in everyday speech by then) remember that time I sat in front of a box and pressed a primitive button panel thereby representing my thoughts virtually? lol (the term is dreadfully overused and has lost all context) I'm sure glad we can now merely think computers to follow our will, while not driving our flying cars because they drive themselves and not cleaning our homes because they're giant organic robots that digest our dead skin cells and suchlike and only lol occasionally gobble up whole humans by mistake."
So, if I'm 12 years 364 days 23 hours, 59 minutes and 59 seconds old, TK will morally bankrupt me, and cause me to want to kill with weaponry, but it's ok, because 1 second later, I will become worldwise, it will all make sense, and I'll be spraying drool at the others in the Badlands with consumate ease?
Maybe kids have message boards where you can't join if you're over 13 and when you have your thirteenth b'day they euthanise you like in that episode where Lwaxana marries Dr. Robotnik.
