      Like in Johnny Mnemonic (1995).

      Why is their internet so much cooler than what we have now? Instead of a crazy 3D VR world, we get a ton of spam, dull corporate run social networks and uncontrolled fake news and bots.

        Hate to bring it up but there was Second Life and there is (?) the Metaverse crap.

          FWIW, my comment was tongue in cheek.

          From a UX perspective, making a long distance call to Beijing via VR is comical. Not to mention we have some excellent services via web and mobile that make life so much easier.
