Virtual Reality

Virtual Reality

Joe Blige

     Virtual reality as of recent, while still extremely new, has become the
topic of many opposing viewpoints.  It has caught the eye of the general public
for several reasons. Perhaps, this is mainly because of all the possibilities
which virtual reality creates. Note that the possibilities are not pre-
determined as either good or bad, mainly because there are many different
opinions to the future of this developing technology.  However, despite the
controversy this new technology has aroused, society should not remain skeptical.
Virtual reality has the potential, if used correctly, to become a great
technological advancement that will aid society in many ways.
     In the past, virtual reality has been nothing more than a small step beyond
video games.  However, it is now apparent that this technology can be used for
more practical purposes. These purposes include national defense, surgical
procedures and various other applications. Society has not fully acknowledged
the benefits of virtual reality as of yet because it is still under development.
The reason for virtual reality remaining in its development for so long is
mainly due to its complexity.  The hardware that has developed so far is unable
to make the large calculations required by a virtual reality based machine.
However, as apparent in recent years, technology is advancing at an extreme rate.
This is another reason why society's hopes for virtual reality should and have
remained unwaivered.

is obviously uncertain about the uses and/or affects that virtual reality will
have upon society.  The show she attended was quick to point out the
practicality of virtual reality however, it still left much to be desired.  It
seems that Orenstein was disgruntled when she came to an exhibit and the topic
of cyber-sex was raised.  Perhaps it wasn't just that it came up but more like
how it came up.  The idea of a man and woman being in a virtual world and a man
fondling the womans breasts was probably, although very much possible, not a
great first impression.  It gave Orenstein the opportunity to explore the evils
that virtual reality makes possible.
     After a while, Orenstein  realizes that just like the computing age has
hackers, the virtual age will have it's own high-tech delinquents.

     You can't prevent technology from being abused.  There will be those who
     use VR...
