An article about how MMORPGs are changing life as we know it that tries to be comprehensive and predictive. Well, the website is called Pointless Waste of Time, so the bar is not set too high.

There are more people playing World of Warcraft in the U.S. today (two million) than had indoor plumbing 100 years ago.

More popular than indoor plumbing! Sort of.
