From where I stand that seems to be only the beginning of the Oculus Rift. With an ever increasing amount of teens participating in online communities like Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest, and more. I believe that with technology, like the Oculus VR, teens will be given an ever greater ability to immerse themselves within virtual reality. I see a problem with this.
How many hours of the day, do we, do I, spend on social networking sites? Probably more than most of us can count. Imagine how much more time could be spent in a realm not displayed in 2D but in 3D! Other than the knowledge that it is not real, the experience is convincing and forgetting about reality is just a hop, skip, and a jump away.
Please jump into the world of virtual space with me and share your own thoughts and ideas of where this technology may take us. Beam us up, Scotty!
Very interesting, The future is here.
ReplyDeleteImagine we will have contact lenses for it or a chip under our skin.
I have seen amazing changes since the "invention" of the Internet during the 1980s, 90s and now the past two decades. Social media has taken over the world for good and bad. I honestly can't imagine what the next 10 years will bring.
ReplyDeleteI'm really glad people are involved and pay attention to social media and new technology that comes out in support of the media. I agree that it is both good and bad; that is what scares me and fascinates me.
ReplyDeleteThis is so interesting. I had not heard of Oculus before this but this will definitely change a lot as far as technology and virtual reality is concerned. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThat's pretty amazing! I can't wait to see all of the technology that the future brings!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad technology can help with our business and getting our name out there through social media.
ReplyDeleteI am so new to technology, but loving every minute of it.
ReplyDeleteI'm loving Pinterest & Facebook to connect me and my business.
ReplyDeleteWow very interesting, I am IT instructor and handling a trends subject, i will share this to my students.Thanks!
ReplyDeleteInteresting article. I like change. I always welcome new technology that improves our lives
ReplyDeleteI see many opportunities for industry in this technology from medical to net meetings. More than just teenagers
ReplyDeleteVery interesting! SO many interesting things come from technology. :)
ReplyDeleteI had not heard of Oculus. I just checked the video and WOW! Technology is moving forward FAST! I personally love it.
ReplyDeleteThis is very interesting! There are so many things coming out that I didn't even know about! Technology is crazy!
ReplyDeleteI do worry about the younger generation being so immersed in technology and spending so much time on social media. I fear we will have a generation(s) that won't be able to communicate with living beings face to face.
ReplyDeleteThis is scary for the parents.. That is why i don't buy gadgets on my kids and help them with activities and sports rather than hanging out of social medias. Thank you reminding! Great post!
ReplyDeleteThis is a great post that should be shared with teens.
ReplyDeleteI wish that teens were more monitored and some of these like ask.fm are so bad and shouldn't even be allowed. Great post.
ReplyDeleteI wish that the schools in our district didn't rely so much on technology because they have so much access to other things they don't need in social media when they aren't mature enough to handle it.
