Jordan highlights the importance of technology and how quickly it is changing. No matter we agree or not but we are the most absorbed people in the world of technology. So what is this rise of virtual reality? He shares his experience where his Dad introduced him to this but he was not only fascinated by it but also disturbed by the constant fatigue to having something around his face which gave him bad headaches. But when he experienced it again in a much-refined form it was like standing in a virtual room with so much going on in your head that you started to feel this has happened before, that is how powerful it is. There are certain ideas that can create a virtual copy of us. You do not need a very hardcore technology for that in fact only artificial intelligence having a skeleton-like person standing in front of you with a few languages taught to them. You can actually reinvent your other version like that. Can we say technology is reinventing humans but destroying humanity? Because in that way the robotic version of us will only look like us but will not have feelings and emotions like we do. Gestures, mannerisms and more can be easily taught so the system can speak on their behalf.
He further mentioned his grandfather passing away when he was a baby and if this concept had existed in the past, he would have actually visited a virtual copy of his grandfather. To be able to talk to him and speak to him. Think about you standing right in front of your virtual image, how incredibly weird?! But exciting at the same time. What would you say to your virtual self?
