content: The internet allows us to grow if we choose -- it's up to us.  I for one, think that a lot of growth in the last 10 years has been amazing -- just google for search, for anything in an instant is astounding, for example, or youtube to see movies and songs and documentaries is just extraordinary.  It's what you make of it, along with the ridiculous pranks for half-assed people.  But you and I are different -- that's what makes us great, in our different ways, because we take advantage of it.  Even if you don't admit it...  :-)    I think VR is the same -- both for positive and negative outcomes.  Some incredible techniques that are going to blow your mind wide open, some mindless stuff that will be entertaining for most people, but not for you or me.  But it's the other stuff; the AI weapons, that I'm really afraid of.  It's all taking place at the same time -- and that is why we are destined to see it all undone in twenty five or thirty years.  What a waste.
