The line between the virtual and real world seems to be becoming ever more blurred.  I could imagine some people might find that hard to handle, and as such, it could be quite dangerous for certain individuals.

Judging by the way many people drive their cars I don't think they are able to separate the real world from the virtual world as it is!   ::)
