Modeling Reality with Virtual Worlds

Virtual Worlds are made up worlds that try and represent reality. The idea that technology has came this far already is just mind boggling. I've tried out VR games before and I must say the experience was unreal. A massive pro I see with VR is active gaming is that we all see kids growing up today glued to the technology put infront of them instead of playing outside. It used to be that our parents would have to yell and drag us back inside from playing outside, these days parents are begging there kids to go outside. You cant blame these kids that it got way easier for kids to play basketball when playing on a couch with a controller in your hand. However thats why in my opinion I feel like VR can bring some good and create video games or VR games that make the kids move around and actually be active because of the kids are going to be playing the video games anyways lets atleast make them active while doing so. Another positive that I read from the article "Naughty Auties Battle autism with virtual interaction" A VR world set up for people with autism to help give them more confidence to speak and interact with others "Its not just to help people with autism. Savill said. "naughty Auties is a fantastic meeting place for people." In the article Avatar II The Hospital “Online simulation designed to help nurses make quick, sure decisions in emergencies. Dozens of hospitals,” A negative I see with VR is just like every other technology as humans we tend to get addicted fast, But now getting addicted in a VR world can lead to another entire level of gaming addictions. In conclusion we all know that the VR tech is there, so the question that stand is: is society ready for VR? In my opinion as a whole we're just not there yet. The tech is out there for us to start to see VR everywhere but since I dont think our society is ready for it yet I dont think we will see the BOOM of VR for another 20-25 years.

Privacy

Privacy and Confidentiality are often confused. Privacy is:  is the ability of an individual or group to seclude themselves, or information about themselves, and thereby express themselves selectively. While confidentiality is:  the state of keeping or being kept secret or private. These days the word "privacy" with the internet triggers debate since Eric Snowden leaked reports. The internet alone and all of these social media platforms like facebook, instagram... have all of the information that you put out there even messages. We trust/hope that these platforms remain Confidential when dealing with our private information, but that goes to say that nothing on the internet is private even if a post was deleted it can always be retrieved.
