Question... would VR eventually take over architecture and we'd
actually have virtual worlds instead of physical ones? Scenario
painted by Lawnmower Man 2 (not a very good movie thought but...)
whereby he suggested that the virtual world would be the escape hatch
to a dying world.  Would we eventually have a world functioning only
as a mean of life support to the human body while the brain is hooked
up to a virtual world whereby every rule of the physical world can be
broken.

Thoughts welcomed.
