Virtual money for real stuff?- just a thought

There have been a lot of things I have been thinking of lately. Most of them boring stuff… but one was interesting (to me at least). So, I decided I finally would provide my blog a new post. Here it goes…

My boyfriend is a gaming freak. By freak I mean he is really passionate about it. He sat down to explain to me this game in which there is everything that is there in the real world. I mean you can buy “land”, build a disco there and make a nightclub. You can use a pick up line on a girl and dance with her. Well, everything is virtual, but the money spent is real! I mean think about this, people spending actual real life dollars and pounds and rupees to buy stuff on the virtual platform, which doesn’t even have a real life existance

What I am thinking is, how would it be if the situation were vice versa? I mean the money virtual and the objects real? Wouldn’t that be fun? Think about it… the money doesn’t have real world existence but you can use that to get real life stuff. You just click a “Rs. 20/-” button on the net and you have a Pepsi on your door step… Well I know its utopic and no stupid person will ever adopt this thingy ever in his freaking sane existence on Planet Earth, but well… what’s the harm in having random thoughts?
