Living In Virtual Reality
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. What would it be like to live in total virtual reality? Some believe it is the answer to all the world's ills, in that war, hunger and disease could all be programmed out of existence. With such power over these otherwise detrimental entities, life would be absent of all things negative and harmful. However, others contend that programming one's existence from a ready-made set of experiences leaves no possibility for the unknown, the challenging or the inherent element of human disappointment. No bibliography.
