How will VR change the world?

Virtual Reality is a new up and coming technology that has everyone super excited, and others... well others skeptical. But the hype is real. Virtual Reality is already pretty widely used around the world and it will only get more popular and more available. But how will VR affect the world and the way it functions? Will it be as big as the Television? Or as revolutionary as the Internet? How will people's lives be affected by this new way of enjoying media? This is definitely a big step, but in what direction, I don't know. It depends on the way you interpret it this new technology. It could definitely be used to help improve the world in many aspects. It could be used by scientists, researchers, artists, media creators, and even for war. The possibilities are quite literally endless. What do you think? Will this new technology be quickly forgotten, or will it change the world? Just a thought.
