I think virtual reality is the future of our word. However, it is still has a lot of space for improvement. It is also still a relatively expensive experience and a lot of people do not have access to it. Virtual worlds can be used to boost your creativity, train army and even according to Jacki Morie create a "psychological healing spaces" (Mehta.) On another hand, mentioned above it needs to improve. As an example, a lot of virtual words lack basic laws of physics. I believe virtual worlds will also make people less sociable and we might lose our communication skills. As an example, David Iztkoff prefers to visit clubs online rather than dressing up and going outside (Itzkoff.)
In my opinion, virtual worlds can be a great tool for us but it will never fully substitute real life. Virtual training for the military or doctors will never be the same as in real life.
