Back in the day when Television had better programming and if this product existed then I would see Kate Jackson. But I am glad that it was not around then and I soon found the girl next door who was always 19 as my way of thinking lasted until rock and roll died and I awoke to find that I was dancing disco for a few years and I had not watched Television for the last 5 years. Today this product does not interest me and I watch very little Television of late and will find any excuse to be in the casino's air.

If it advances the medical field/exploration, then bring it on. Otherwise, it's a 5,000+ patent sales generator.

I would still have a cell phone half the size of a brick if I did not break it diving out of the way of an out of control car, waiting for a wrecker to load my motorcycle, 17 years ago. I still have windows XP on the shop computer and use it's serial ports to communicate with my computer controlled machinery. I only use the technology I need to make a living and survive.
I have a friend who always wants to be the first to have new technology, I am in the group having it last.

Unlike past VR devices, this one actually promotes itself as allowing the user to walk around the city like that guy in that one video, or drive a car like the guy in the other video.

Imagine the lawsuits if this thing glitches out and people start injuring themselves, or worse?

Not sure if anyone remembers the movie Surrogates, but we are well on course for such a reality.

I had no knowledge of this movie, but after seeing the preview, I'll purchase a viewing at YouTube this week. Thanks.
