[Air-L] Consciousness of real-virtual connection

[Andrea Hein]

Greetings,

I am in the process of wrapping up some research and was wondering if you all could provide some information regarding a particular topic. I'm looking for research about people's level of consciousness regarding the connection between their real and virtual lives. I know that the connection between the real and virtual is well-documented and that people who inhabit virtual worlds generally acknowledge the connection between their two lives. What I'm looking for is research that discusses the point where the two lives become so intermingled, a person no longer consciously thinks of certain aspects as completely virtual or completely real. I hope this makes sense. Thank you in advance for your help.
