And yet, when it came to their own children Steve Jobs, Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg chose to keep technology at arm's length:

Makes you wonder, doesn't it?
FWIW, I bought a Playstation VR pre-pandemic, but during lockdown, I spent more of my time in the real world, working on projects which had accumulated over the years because I had been too distracted. Watched a movie or two via the goggles, and yes the virtual (very big) screen is kind of neat, though 3D movies didn't look particularly 3D, maybe because they weren't optimized for goggles. But mostly I watch movies on my 32" set.
Sure, but we're in the early days of the game right now. It's pretty inevitable that we're headed down that road eventually. Putting limits on what little kids do is part of parenting right? We limit their TV time...how much candy they eat...don't let them stay up all night. Why wouldn't we limit their VR time too? I'm not advocating for it really...I just think it's more or less what the future holds. (BTW, I had no idea the VR goggles already had that virtually big screen option. I've never even put a pair on and frankly I'm not all that interested in it yet. Once the technology is advanced enough I'll be interested though)
