I don't use any drug or substance to get relief from stress but I know that technology has evolved to a point where VR is being used to treat people who are facing mental troubles. I think it's a good thing but I wonder if someone could get so addicted that he'd want to be plugged forever to a supercomputer.

I think VR is simply used a distraction -a temporary escape. But I don't think we should refer to the constant of use of VR as addictive, simply because we find t useful. There are things we use everyday --should we say we're addicts? But I agree that people would prefer to be immersed. The virtual world many times, could be better than our own world, right?

But all my friends are addicted to video-games and play for days.
I actually have no issue with living virtually but what if Tech companies like Facebook are still not transparent with the public about how they control people's activities through VR? That's what worries me the most!
