1. Klosterman almost got sucked into The Sims in a sense trying to recreate his identity. So much that it made him take a closer look at his own identity in real life.
2. Klosterman's piece reminded me of the Vanish piece because both men got frustrated about the new self they were creating. Klosterman because of the limitations of Sims and how he couldn't make a replica of himself. Whereas Ratcliff wasn't trying to duplicate himself at all, and was losing his identity in that respect.
3. I agree with this statement. Children are advancing, but they aren't using their imaginations as freely because computer games have cut and dry rules to get a score. Like a computer, they can be more focused on the outcome or score than they are on the experience.
