 * <span style="color: #000080; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 17px;">The major appeal of a virtual environment is that anything is possible. You can create anything.

A negative effect of virtual environments it that they can be extremely addictive. There is the possibility of wanting to stay in the V.R. instead of living in the real world. **
