WHAT INSIDERS KNOW ABOUT VIRTUAL REALITY AND WHY IT’S IMPERATIVE YOU KNOW IT, TOO!
Dear computer-user (and who among us is not in that category?)
There’s a whole new world available to you online –right now! - and if you don’t know about it, you will not be prepared for the changes and innovations available to you nowadays as a parent, teacher, student, game-player, communicator, designer or entrepreneur.
No matter who you are, what your age is, how you are employed or what your passion is in life, you’ll find vital information which will guide you to a complete understanding of a global phenomenon you don’t dare ignore.
And you can learn about it right now, in a concise and fascinating e-book, for one very low price. Hours of research culled into one, informative source.
So just what is it that is so very important for you to get a handle on?
It’s called virtual reality and it takes place in virtual worlds.
Huh?
Maybe you’ve even heard of virtual reality and virtual worlds before, but you’re really not sure what those terms mean. You know they have something to do with computers, probably computer games, but you really don’t play any of those games, so it hasn’t got much to do with you.
A virtual world is a computer-generated 3-D environment, which allows the user to interact in real time with visual and auditory stimuli, as well as with other users through the use of text, graphics, movement and sound.
An astonishing 600 million people around the world visit a virtual world every single day! And many of those millions are not gamers, but people just like you and me.
At this point you may be saying to yourself, but I’m too young, too old, not a game player, not tech savvy enough. Virtual worlds aren’t applicable to any aspect of my life.
Think again!
Virtual reality is absolutely permeating every aspect of society! It is an actuality not to be ignored!
Think back. Several years ago, were you one of those who just knew they wouldn’t ever have to deal with computers, so resisted learning about them?
Well, you found out you did have to know about them, didn’t you? And you discovered that they did become a simply huge part of your life.
The same is true of virtual reality. It will also become a huge part of your life, and you are only hurting yourself and your family if you don’t find out what it’s all about and make room for it now in your world.
There are many aspects of life that do not need to take place in physical space anymore, and, quite simply, there is no aspect of living that the virtual world explosion has not embraced, or will not embrace very, very soon.
Virtual reality is not just for game playing. Not anymore. Not by a long shot.
But where do you begin? There is simply too much information to absorb, too many applications to read about, too much technical jargon to wade through. Who has the time necessary to get up to speed on this life-changing new reality?
Don’t fret. You won’t have to spend hours online reading web sites and struggling through terms you don’t understand. You will no longer have to remove yourself from conversations about how virtual reality is not only our future, but our children’s future, as well. Nor will you have to wonder what your children are doing online, and if they are safe.
Now there is a comprehensive, fun to read e-book overview of the exploding world of virtual reality, “Virtual Worlds: Past, Present and Future,” Over 70 illustrated pages of condensed, meticulously researched information, in a high-resolution PDF (Portable Document Format) file, which will fill you in on every aspect of this booming new industry and all the ways in which it will touch your life.

References and Enhanced Information
Excerpt (Beginning of Chapter 1):
In the midst of the Information Age, a time when technological advances are occurring nearly every second, it shouldn’t be a surprise that we often refer to our real lives as our "offline lives", and time spent on the Internet, in chat rooms, online gaming, and social networking sites as our "online lives".
And really, it all boils down to this. If you’re not terribly satisfied with how your "offline life" has turned out, you can simply rewrite it - to undo the past, recreate yourself, to be the fearless hero you’ve always wanted to be, or the gun-wielding maniac in a virtual shooting game. In virtual realities, you can escape boredom, depression, loneliness, and all the other unpleasant side effects of real life.
