Augmented reality and virtual realities have been around for many years and the future is infinite. Each day they are becoming more fine-tuned and usable. The possibilities for these new technologies are endless. They can be applied in education, workplaces, gaming, and even day to day life. 

​

One worry for the implemented use of augmented reality in the daily lives of people is the distraction it could cause. Games such as 'Pokemon Go' have already brought up this concern. Combining the virtual world with real life can pull people away from their real surroundings. With new products like Google Glass in the future, there may need to be regulations implemented. These created augmented reality for the wearer constantly, even while working or driving. How could these really be controlled? I believe people will be more excited by the new technology than concerned of the dangers.

​

I believe that these new technologies have the possibility to change the world and lives of people through education, medicine, science, and so much more. However I also believe that there is reason to be cautious with the effect it may have on our lives. Have you ever seen the movie 'Wall-E'? Virtual and augmented realities have the power to pull people away from what is really going on around them, and - what matters most - the real world.
