Virtual Reality - Do U notice  that we are moving towards a VR age ?

Core Values of Virtual Reality - to exceed the limitation of reality; with an aim to improve the utility/ convenience/ pleasure of human beings.

Examples:
1) Octopus - virtual coins - to exceed the need to count & carry heavy coins
2) Fiat $ - It is an I.O.U (no gold needed) - to exceed the limitation of human productive force; $ supply can be infinitive in theory
3) Movie - the biggest box office in history - Avatar - to realize the VR by Vision - flying dragon, 7 foot tall alien, etc.
In Titanic, we remembered Dicaprio & Kate Winslet. In Avatar, who do we have ? do U remember its main star ?
4) Social network  - facebook & mobile phone - to reduce the need for people to gather & meet & chat.

In 1991, I remembered I went to the basement of the ex-Mitsukoshi Department Store in CWB & asked for bleach-skin products in the ladies cosmetic counters & None were available at that time ( I adored Neon Lai's whiteness at that time). The whitening skin products began to be popular only after 2000.

Following the above time frame, I would expect VR to becoming a major trend in the next 10-20 years' time.

Shall we have
virtual love - the limitation of seeking real love in real world
virtual travel - the limitation of time & $ in travelling
virtual food - the limitation of our appetite
virtual housing - the limitation of land supply & floor area
in the future ?

The world is becoming more unreal.
