The big 5G conference in Barcelona is taking place. There are plenty of fascinating technologies to be seen and experienced... but no one is asking the question what does 5G mean for the social imagination? Maybe its a no brainer...
Well, you should know by now that any social imagination exists in agreement reality. It has to lest there is no 'reality'. So, I suppose in virtual reality, there is plenty of agreement to make anyone and everyone completely content. You see, 5G is the interconnectedness of things... (including your mind) with technology, the cloud and reality you always dreamed of; a designer reality.
So, where will your 'real' body be? Good question. Firstly, for now, the technology yet limited to wearing a headset device but soon that will be old tech as we approach 2025 which is the year that 5G will be global. The technology will be a chip in your body. Given such luxury, people will have the world at their finger tips so to speak. People of little means and little intelligence can be all they wan to be and even more.
Why would people want to ever leave their home, go to work (unless they work virtually) or go for walk in the real world when they can be in la la land. They can be free indeed, right? Who knows, but nothing in this life is for free and that includes virtual reality. So, maybe then its just for the rich then there is nothing to worry about. Let them get all wrapped up in it.
It will start out as something for the rich as a lure. A seductive lure to capture the average Joe (s) giving them the false idea that they too can have it all or the life they always dreamed of. But its the rich/ elite that have a larger agenda which is to get everyone else into virtual reality so that they can have the real world to themselves.
It may not be entirely cost free. People may have a basic package deal that they could get for free and buy upward virtual packages if they lend out their real body for other purposes; i.e. hidden sexual exploitation, medical experimentation and even energy. Oh yes, the dark side of mankind will not disappear in virtual reality. If anything it will grow darker and darker because no one will see it actually growing darker and darker as they will be suspended in 'disbelief'.
