Do we care more about the virtual world than our own 

Nice one ;)

good article thanks for sharing.

Interesting... and a little scary.

Is there a debate related to this issue? It's an interesting article, but without a debate, I'm not sure what it's doing in this spot, rather than, say, the link, or the link. Certainly the article isn't really making an argument one way or another...

I think this qualifies as a debate. Maybe not one that we ourselves are taking part in... (although a pick about this is certainly welcome), but it is a debate, or a problem that has two differing opinions, regardless.

i thought it was a interesting issue and not everything on this spot is debating in a biased way one way or another it's just giving you some information to think about. If you want to take the link and put it in one of them spots (as i'm not a fan of them) your very welcome to harold :)
