"I heard about this thing called visual reality. What is it?"

Thinkstock

"Do you mean 'virtual reality'? It's like goggles that you put on that make you think you're in another place."

"I don't understand. How does it work?"

Thinkstock

"Think of it like going to the movies, but instead of watching it, you're controlling it."

"Do you watch movies on it?"

Thinkstock

"Well, yeah! But even more than that, it could make you think that you're actually in another place. There are even lots of games people are making to work with it."

"So you control it with a remote control?"

Thinkstock

"No, you just move around, and it changes what happens all around you, just like life."

"Will it electrocute me?"

Thinkstock

"No."

"Can I make phone calls on it?"

Thinkstock

"No."

"How does it know how I'm moving?"

Thinkstock

"It has little sensors that monitor your movements."

"Do I have to wear it in a special room for it to work?"

Thinkstock

"What? No, you just put it on, and it should be good to go!"

"Do other people see you?"

Thinkstock

"I don't know what you mean."

"Like, if I'm in Paris, will people actually see me there?"

Thinkstock

"OMG. NO."

"How do I know how to get out of it?"

Thinkstock

"If you want to get out of it, you'll be able to. Just take the goggles off your face at any time."

"Is this how everyone is going to chat on Twitbook from now on?"

Thinkstock

"Ughhhhhhhh."

Hurry up and call them. The future is coming fast.
