My profesor at Uni predicted, that the next computer revolution will be "invisible computing". That firstly basically all everyday items will get chips inside (ie "Smart Things", it was way before Iphone &co) and then computing will bee something in the background. IDK, but it seems plausible to me and looks like we are moving into such future. VR is not compatible with that vision. Most ppl prefer real life to escapism. And event if you want to escape drugs are more fun and more addictive.

Most ppl prefer real life to escapism.

I dunno, escapist industries are pretty big, and occupy quite a big of most people's non-work waking life. Film, tv, video games, books, comics, social media, etc..
