   I tried VR and, as many others have said, it's a novelty that wears thin quickly.

   I'm amazed though at the amount of effort and corporate money that keeps being thrown at VR trying to make it a thing.

   It feels like, to the public, it's like some tired The Beverly Hillbillies re-run that keeps popping up from time to time.

      The younger generation uses VR a lot. It's like Nintendo in the 80s.

         Must be younger than my (20's) daughters then. Their crowd would rather touch grass.

            I'm sure they touch their phones a million times more than grass.

               Touching grass is actually not that good for you. You get itchy or could have an allergic reaction.

                  Virtual reality grass is much safer, maybe that's what he meant?

               They dumb down their phones.
