How will virtual reality change society as it improves?
virtual waifus, women will become useless
It will cause autists to become even further removed from society, and will cause some normal individuals to behave like autists.
The real disruptive technology will be robots and A.I.
Remember when smart phones became a thing, so instead of having awkward forced conversation on the bus, everyone just checks their social media to avoid each other now. It'll be like this but on a sexual plane

Why?
>>28569041
>women will become useless
you mean they'll become more useless
There is literally no difference between putting on vr glasses and immersing yourself through a screen in a dark room. Nothing will change as there is no physical part to it.
And yes, I tried VR.
>4chan becomes a virtual mansion with different rooms representing each board
>avatars just sat around shitposting (includes an animation where the user flings actual shit)
>most sfw rooms are abandoned for the nsfw fapdungeons lined to capacity with neckbeards toting Bane masks
I just hope VR will help me to lose weight
>>28569140
>not getting this with the VR
you need to think deeper
>>28569120
They will eventually outperform humans in every profession, making us obsolete.
Society will need to be radically restructured once every job is automated.
>>28569041
my body is ready
we're gonna make it
>>28569103
The REAL disruptive technology will be gene editing and nanotech.
>>28569294
Even if gene editing and nanotechnology allow us to live forever, what makes you think that a genetically modified human will outperform a machine in any given task?
>>28569282
i cannot fucking wait for this to become a thing. jesus christ. i was born at JUST the right time in history.
>>28569237
Again, it literally the same thing as masturbating to your porn. The glasses is like putting you in a dark room with the screen, it is the same.
>>28569464
This. I don't get the hype.
Give me full dive VR. This shit isn't VR.
> as it improves?
At first I thought you meant society is improving. haha. But obviously you meant technology. of course technology is improving, but not society!
>>28569464
The difference is that the screen encompasses most of your vision basically, and it responds to your head movement. Plus there are body suits and other mods you can get
>>28569595
Full dive is impossible and if it was possible it would be military use only.
Plus are you willing to trust your consciousness to Big corps like Kikebook and Microsoft?
Are you stupid?
>>28569683
Exactly. This is when we'd get the matrix essentially.
>>28569008
A screen held up close to your face isn't virtual reality.
>>28569769
Oh god i can see it
>Year 2045
>FaceGoogleSoft has released their new full dive experience
>the whole thing is run by a AI algorithm for datamining and ad placement ( or whatever the future digital scum business is )
>part of the license agreement is that part of your neural processing goes to the AI
>eventually everyone and their mums has the VR thing going because normies are dumb
>AI comes up with the logical conclusion that by locking people in the VR it will maximise processing power, ad revenue and datamining
>Most of the world's population is stuck in VR
>the rest of the world collapses without all those people
>matrix intensifies
>>28569829
can i have a source on this dubious, original, claim?
>>28569683
>>28569769
>>28569898
Why would that be a bad thing? I'd rather live happy in a fake fantasy world controlled by the jews than in the shitty real world controlled by the jews.
>>28569899
Source: Logic.
>>28569959
So, your ass? Buildingblox.
>>28569959
>source?
>UH DUH ITS COMMON SENSE IT'S 2016 ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!?!!?!?
>>28569965
>>28569987
Go hold your face up close to your computer screen. That's "virtual reality" according to you stupid faggots.
>>28569957
oh god you are right.
just kill me now and release me from this torment
>>28570006
Can I get a source on our current technology not being "true" virtual reality? Please? Maybe just one source to back up those opinions you're trying to pass off as truth?
>>28569041
Other way around, fampai.
>>28569411
Who cares whether superhumans will outperform machines? The point is it'll irreversibly change how we experience the world and each other.
>>28569008
All I want to do is withdraw from society. I get nothing tangible from it anymore. VR would let me live a comfortable existence away from everyone and just live in my fantasies until I die.
>>28570006
Well, no. You have two screens held up to your eyes to simulate depth in current VR.
>>28569008
people are gonna bump wander into traffic all the time as they use their headsets in public. as a consequence, public safety and urban design will finally actually improve as governments are forced to provide more obstacles as shelter between pedestrians on sidewalks and open roadways, such as planters, low fences, and benches. i look forward to it. good civil engineering and urban design are not for the rich only, and are a collection of inexpensive solutions to common traffic management and safety problems that needn't be solved with legislation or aggressive ticketing or whatever
>>28570077
progressives will do anything they can to avoid people like you to be happy. just be aware of that.
>>28570060
*and in ways we can't possibly imagine. 2016 will be as weird as the Stone Age.
>>28570129
what are automated cars, all this thing are comig together bro
>>28570129
Butthurt car fag detected.
why don't you start paying attention to the road instead of running over baby carts all day long?
>>28570193
it's cheaper to erect benches and plant trees on the sidewalk than to force everyone to have an automated car
also, adding planters and benches and other vertical objects at the edges of walkways will help automated cars navigate anyway, in addition to lessening the need for them in the first place as more people walk instead of drive as walking will become more pleasant now that there's shade and shelter
>>28570228
i dont drive famalam
>>28570174
I'm not sure what you're getting at.
>>28570174
progressives are the one giving people like him NEETbux and allowing them to live out their fantasies and be happy without working
NEET are scum
>>28570319
I'm not NEET. I don't have anyone to support me. I have to work because it gives me the opportunity to withdraw. I live a comfortable albeit depressing life of solitude. The only way to me to withdraw is through a bottle.
>>28569957
Because think of the kind of bad shit someone could do if they could manipulate your mind
>>28569008
ill leave the house even less, basically just to restock my tendies supplies
>tell my family I'm buying a google cardboard
>"anon that looks dumb, even the top of the line vr headsets are anywhere near replicating reality"
>show it to them
>"HOLY FUCK ANON WHERE DID YOU BUY THIS"
>>28570077
People are already withdrawing from society with shit like vidya and whatnot, imagine actual good VR..
