Can't wait to see wives and husbands coming back home to their kids after work and instead of twitting whatsapping and facebooking at the table during family dinner, the whole merry family puts on these headsets and dissolve into VR, eating soylent green (

So what if the weather is insane outside, no big deal if we have to wear masks to breathe, we can always buy clean water at the supermarket and outside reality will be just fine.
We'll spend our life inside these programmed virtual worlds, were we can be Gods instead. Fuck reality, we're going Virtual.
I know it's not the most popular idea, but I'm just saying...
What is the purpose of this, except really cool entertainment ?
Why is it that so many extremely smart people work on entertainment instead of some real save-the-world-because-we're-fucked kind of problems ?
