1. Internet was not as useful as now when it was introduced to Taiwan 25 years ago. What could internet do for you then? What can it do for you now? What are the things that you could already predict at that time for its development? Is there anything that internet can do now actually surprises you which was beyond your imagination? What can we see on the internet in the future?
2. Have you tried VR? Was you impressed when you tried it? What can VR do now? What do you think or hope VR can do in the future?
2.1 Would you try Birdly? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gWLHIusLWOc How much money would you spend on Birdly? (Read the comments of the video before you dismiss it.)
2.2 Would you try Pucchokun? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eN5bW8fgJuU How much would you spend on it? (Be sure to read those remarkable comments under that youtube video, too.)
3. Please think of a creative VR use and share your invention with us.

4. Virtual Reality may become another reality in the future that people work and live in it. Some people may think it's easier, more productive, and even more fun. Do you agree? Would you do your current job in VR someday?
Why or why not?
5. What are some of the problems of VR that you can see? Do we need laws to regulate VR use in the future?
6. Some people may prefer Virtual Reality to real reality in the future, that they would spend more time in the headset rather than in real life. Is it a good thing or bad thing? Should kids be taught to spend less time in it or do it more?
