Even without these VR's or supercomputers the fact is we are already attached to our PC's so be it desktops or laptops. And perfect example is our smartphones. Every single thing that we do using these technologies, we get used to it and its going to the point that we can't live anymore with it.
This the reality and sadly happening. There are people also that find it as a solution to escape their real world problems that they can't deal with anymore. Too much usage whether related to technologies or not, does have bad effect.
I think that this is one of the greatest ideas put forward so far regarding this topic and clearly states that yes, we can be addicted to any sort of thing and especially technology and if someone wants they can use it to do harm. I've never really thought about how dangerous my "smartphone" addiction could be, but in reality I think a lot of people such myself would feel very insecure and like they have lost one of their limbs if they didnt have access to their smartphone or some other technological tools that has become part of our everyday lives. Same with treatments that will be done using technology such as VR.
Thanks for the thread, really eye-opening for me!
