Virtual Reality is the next big thing in the world of technology…
I walked into the Biology class a bit late. That was on purpose, as I had not anticipated sitting in an overwhelming boredom for two hours. It was boring when a lecturer stood in front of the class explaining so obscurely that it took only a sharp brain and God’s grace to understand.
Of course, the lecturer cannot be blamed as he tries to impact all he knows, but the method is not always quite effective. I had learned never to sit in front of the class when I was not planning to pay attention. The lecturer targets the front bencher, assumes they are the brightest in the class and continuously throws questions at them. I had learned that the hard way.
Naturally, I was also not a back-bencher so the middle seat was perfect. The class had started and I also started my daydream. My mind was roaming through random stuff until it hit the video I had watched on Virtual Reality the previous day.
I had been surfing the internet looking for technological innovations when I came across Virtual Reality Technology. I was in awe! Can you imagine being able to go to Mars, run an Olympic 100 meters, etc., without even leaving your home? Those are things Virtual Reality could do. I know you are thinking impossible. I also thought that, but I then read further and knew it was no joke.
Virtual Reality means blocking yourself off from the real world and substituting a computer-generated alternative, thereby simulating bits of completely imaginary worlds. It makes you feel like you are actually somewhere else. Impressive, right?
I became even more interested when I discovered that it often involves wearing a wrap-around headset called a head-mounted display, clamping stereo headphones over your ears and touching or feeling your way around your imaginary home using data gloves (gloves with built-in sensors). Just then, an idea popped into my head. Imagine using Virtual Reality in the classroom, a way that I could actually relate to what is being taught. Oh my God! Have I just discovered the solution to the end of eternal boredom?

Yes, we all have different ways of assimilating, but I doubt anyone would ever find the Virtual Reality method boring! Wow, the class is over. I can’t believe I spent the whole class thinking about Virtual Reality technology. I would say it was worth it, though, if only it could happen.
