That said, the Malay ISPs would probably still over-charge their customers anyways

I don’t even wanna go into how screwed up the broadband in this country is.

@Nick - I hadn’t considered VR being used for educational purposes, but I can see how this would be a huge benefit for anyone. With all the science fiction I’ve read involving people escaping their problems through VR worlds, I had really only considered it to be an extension of video games.

Eventually, when people grow tired of wearing helmets and other gear for VR, perhaps the holodeck will be closer to reality
Thanks for sharing the brighter side of VR.

Awesome - anything that promotes more space-based assets is a win in my book.

I could understand if VR was used to connect a doctor to a bunch of machines in some faraway operating room so that a complex surgery could be performed as though the doctor was in the very same room, rather than on a different continent, but how would it enrich the lives of ordinary people?

Of course I’m just asking this for the sake of argument, but it is something that society will need to tackle a little more as these technologies become cheaper and easily accessible. So many are already “unplugging” from reality to escape into their online worlds of imagination, so one would assume that VR would be even more enticing than the current mechanism
