I'm totally with you on that. Yes, VR is just around the corner. And while the most typical example is a completely virtual surrounding, meaning you're sitting in your living room, but feel like you're walking down a beach, what I believe is going to be more common is the augmented reality: seeing the actual street we're walking down on, but without the trash, the beggars, or whatever else we want to block out. Instead, we will see flowers, bunnies, (and most likely advertisement), along with messages, videos, and stuff people send us.
I'm not really sure if I like this scenario of a filtered world, but that is the direction I see we're taking. Oh well, at least we'll straighten our backs again!
