Calling a cave VR

What I see as one of the great problems when discussing VR or other ephemeral terms such as interactive or ‘cyber’ or ‘multi’ or other computer-mediated expressions is that often the hermeneutic apparatus used to describe them is often little more than a wish list or projections. The potential for VR is huge, but the proof is in the pudding so to speak. Jetfighers, banal street scapes, elevator musak, corporate logos, classical references to dated notions of ‘high culture’. I’m just telling it how it is..street level. Every time I turn on the television I think, such potential then turn it off.
