Moving to a Virtual World

The virtual world is beginning to take over our lives especially with the addition of social networks such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and many, many more. One cannot deny that it is one of the reason why people nowadays do not socialize face to face anymore, but is it really that bad?

We are now living in a fast paced world. A minute or maybe even a second of information delay can make a difference to people, stock brokers require immediate information if not they might lose millions. A patient might need a donor in the next hour and it's up to all the modern technology to help transfer the information.

There are pros and cons to everything, even the things that seem bad at first glace. Virtual reality has opened up much possibilities not only in the architectural or design world, but also in the scientific, archeological, businesses and much more. It has provided us with a virtual platform to keep in touch with one another despite the distance and made a lot of things much convenient as we could access most of it at home.

I would further explore the potential and possibilities of virtual reality especially towards architecture and design in the coming weeks in hopes that it would provoke people's thoughts and make them aware of the benefits virtual reality would bring us.
