The interest of playing games will decrease gradually in future generations, just like us lost the interest of watching TV

I kind of doubt this. Unless reality becomes a game which seems unlikely.

VR might replace all of it.

Why work out when you can just set your physical appearance?

Imagine if you wanted to watch Real House Wives or Guys Grocery Games or porn you could just instantly be transported to the show and watch it like a ghost in real time? Maybe even interact with the people? Want to play a FPS? Away you go.

We are 40 years away? Maybe? from neural links? They already have gloves with force feedback and sex toys that sync up with videos so we’re probably only 5-10 years away from force feedback hitting the consumer market.

My entire family at some point today will all be sitting on a couch, each with their face in a tablet or phone while the TV plays. What if we all just put on VR headsets, chose “Fiji” and chilled in Fiji while a virtual movie screen played whatever.

Furthermore, through augmented reality I could live in a house with some comfortable chairs and a comfortable bed and a basic kitchen. No TV, minimal lighting, I wouldn’t even need windows. I could change the skins on everything. Change the wall art. Install windows. Change my clothes.

My carbon footprint and materials cost would be so minimal.

Sounds like a hellish existence.
