I remember one old SF story from the late 50s/early 60s where everyone lived in life support tanks and “lived” in VR. The husband went to a virtual office and shuffled virtual paperwork all day while the wife stayed at virtual home and watched virtual soap operas. When the husband “came home” he was upset because the wife hadn’t gotten around to punching the button to select the supper food paste yet.
My first encounter with VR was definitely NOT real. The local hospital has a Virtual Office which means there is NOONE whom you can contact to contest a bill.

Technology has come a long way. But it still can’t replace the experience of having your spleen clawed out.

Some day they’ll put 3D models of restaurant menu items online. Victual reality.
