In these worlds, you may do shopping, checking out products, you may
play table tennis, water ski, walk the mountain, ride a bicycle, drive
a car, frag friends, etc.
At the risk of sounding like a technophobe, I think I'll still be riding
my real bicycle on real mountains. To the extent that I frag my friends
I'll try to keep it on the internet though. =)
