     I am writing a paper on the potential for use/misuse of the 
science of VR.  I am very interested in VR, and would appreciate any
honest responses.  I am looking for the following types of info:

1)  Where do you think VR is going in the future?  What will be its
    positive and negative aspects?
2)  What are the potentials for the use and misuse of VR?  Will it be
    (or is it already) a highly controversial area of science (like
    genetic engineering, for example)?
3)  What is the public opinion (if any) of VR at the present time?

This is very important to me, so any information would help.  Please
use the REPLY command to email your response directly to me instead of
to the newsgroup.  Thank you very much.
