A virtual reality for you and me!

Virtual reality is not a new concept but is making waves as the technology has developed greatly in the last two decades. It's advances include better hardware and software for a more in-depth experience for the users. I have seen VR used primarily for gaming and training but the possibilities are  truly endless! I foresee a digital world being created where we can enter and experience art, music, gaming, video, and so much more. 

Virtual Stupidity (1995) 
I believe the refinements for this new tech will need to bridge certain gaps. Some of these issues that come to mind might be seeing a painting that is 2D in its physical nature but 3D in its visual aspects, or making video purposeful so that the audience not only feels included but that the creator is content on how its conveyed. 

These refinements are but minuscule to a real issue with the future of VR. Let me ask you, what do you think will happen when we create virtual worlds that we enjoy more than our own? Can we say that we will appreciate our true reality more or that it is simply not enough? I don't want you to think that I'm not excited for VR as I have always been interested in and support man's advancements in technology. 

I just want us to create a better future where we put these tools to use so that it's for the betterment of God's Kingdom. 
But I still love technology, 
Always and forever
