I moved for work last year and now live 7 hours from all the roots I had growing up. Until personal teleportation exists and I can be with my extended family and friends in the evenings and weekends while at work during the week, VR seems like the next closest thing. I get that there’s plenty of cons to VR, especially one controlled by facebook. But the draw here is similar to that of social media to begin with for me anyway, to reconnect with people lost by distance.
