Are myspace and facebook primitive forms of the matrix?

Question

Note: this is a halfway serious question. I see a lot of people living more and more of their lives online on places like Myspace (this also goes for folks who spent sixteen hours at a stretch playing world of warcraft) and I can't help but wonder when (and it probably is a when, not an if) someone figures out how to actually plug someone directly into a computer how many people will simply choose to live their lives entirely online in some artificial construct. Thoughts?

Dude check out this link http://news.yahoo.com/s/space/20061012/sc_space/teenagerplaysvideogamejustbythinking. Its about this kid that they hooked up to a computer and he played space invaders with only his thoughts. How soon will it be before we're all doing this? I'd say by at least 2030. Are myspace and facebook primitive forms of the matrix? Absolutly. We're getting to a point where the lines between reality and computers are becoming blurred, and I think it'll become a very interesting, if not frighteningly strange, world. Good question, take care
