Is Virtual Reality Destined to Become Techno-Hell on Earth?
Extremes apply to everything, including application of technology. For all the great advances we've seen, I always imagined how cool it would be to sit on a beautiful beach watching the waves roll by while lying in bed with my VR goggles. Unfortunately, I recently awakened to the realization that some of my worst fears of the future of technology may be more likely to materialize. Humanity always seems to find a way to take things to extremes (the passions of man and all), and this more than plausible future reality certainly seems par for the course. Meet techno-hell on earth, otherwise known as HYPER-REALITY:
Note: I had originally included this as part of a previous post, but it seemed more deserving of a post all its own.
Remember to keep the balance my friends.

This is Augmented Reality not Virtual Reality. Augmented reality only changes real world life by adding virtual layers to what we already experience. Virtual reality is full immersion that you enter a new world.
that's true, I forgot to note the distinction in posting this, probably because the line appears to be so increasingly blurry (ie. at some point extreme augmented reality becomes practically indistinguishable from virtual reality). Or maybe this could be called Hyper-Augmented Techno-Torture. lol
yes we need balance ! Nice !
