A long time ago, we started moving out of our lives, first into a distorted reality (makeup, plastic surgery, botox, the life of a super star on FB and Instagram), where we stopped looking like ourselves, and then into virtual reality.
There are several films on this topic, where a man sits at home behind the monitor of his machine, and in the real world his life is lived by a perfect avatar.
We just have to move that avatar to the digital world and there it is, the migration is complete, we can turn off the man. No longer needed...

Just imagine going on holiday virtually, where everyone you interact with looks just the way you want them to, and says what you want them to.

I don't live in a virtual world. When I want to touch, see or smell something, I do it live.
And related to the travel experience, there is a verse of a song by a famous author, which I often quote when someone mentions a tour with Google Earth or Instagram vlogs "They will tell you about the voyage, those who did not raise the anchor..."
