Thoughts on Emerging Technologies

​

I believe that some of the advancement in virtual environments can be very useful. In website and maintenance we used the virtual environment to display our websites and it allowed us to easily view our classmates websites. In cases like this I think it is great. With virtual reality we can experiences going on a roller coaster or watch TV through a headset. This is a bit of a novelty and fun at the same time. Augmented Reality will allow us to project a keypad on your hand and call a friend without removing your phone from your pocket. All of these things have advantages, I am more concerned with how this affects our overall being.

​

How are these things going to affect our social skills if overused, how are these unreal realities going to affect our vision, and how are will they affect our mental state. If used within reason and for a good purpose these virtual environments and such will be quite useful in today's modern world, but I believe one needs to use with caution.
