Hi Mike -- For purpose of your paper's grade, you may want to relook at the 1st and last sentences and tie them together. Also, unbold the last sentence because it it not part of the quote.

I too did Virtual Reality and liked the research. I agree that it is not just for serious usage. "Virtual reality can be divided into:

• The simulation of a real environment for training and education.
• The development of an imagined environment for a game or interactive story." (1)

I think Virtual Reality is going to be an exciting segment of the computing world and I look forward to being around to enjoy the ride.

Joe - Found your research interesting and informative. It is an unsettling reality that we will and are losing our jobs to robotics. I search for some stats and found this.

Marshall Brain who is the founder of the website HowStuffWorks, projects in his essay "Robotic Nation," humanoid robots will be widely available by the year 2030, and able to replace jobs currently filled by people in areas such as fast-food service, housecleaning and retail. Unless ways are found to compensate for these lost jobs, Brain estimates that more than half of Americans could be unemployed by 2055." (1)

I agree that we need to be aware and find the balance for the future so that man and machine can co-exist.
