People have been talking about VR changing everything Any Day Now since the early 70s. By the 80s this was a widespread enough thing that it kinda worked its way into Star Trek TNG. Apart from AI (1950s), there is probably no longer-running "technology which will change everything" promise.
this is essentially useless without the powerglove with which to control everything.
