Interesting and scary at the same time. Being a student of human nature I predict:

1. This will very quickly be used almost solely for cybersex.

2. If a way to remote control robot bodies is developed, then the users will use them for cybersex, "extreme sports" or committing crimes at a distance.

Some of this is covered in Sci Fi, of course including Ghost in the Shell. Such cybersex is very common and remote control androids are used to commit crime from a distance.

This one article looks particularly interesting in terms of psychology, and tele-presence applications.Make your life easier with all your friends, email, and favorite sites in one place. Try it now.

It is amazing how many good ideas suffer from the human propensity to sexualize everything.
