Sight

Sound

Smell

Taste

Touch

Maybe a sixth

Intuition?

How many of those will be regularly and truly satisfied or used if virtual reality takes a greater place in life?

Will virtue reality turn us into more fragmented beings with much more varying ideas of 'reality'?

Just think how much time we spend touching our phones?

When was the last time you touched a natural plant?

Reads like a welcome red alert.

I hope I'm gone long before a virtual world really takes over..let's see, my phone..I have fb but rarely use it..obviously I have this great site and I have phone and text..that's me done..don't have anything but this phone which has very little sto rage for pics etc. I'm a woodsman, spent all my life working with nature..I love all my senses..if I climb a tree I love at the very least, barefoot..I love to feel and smell. I think humanity is losing its connection with the senses. I'm a caver..now people in general know they can sense smell, aromas etc but let me say this..i ve spent long days underground without seeing the surface so most of the senses click down a notch but oh gawd when I ve surfaced again there are so many smells hit the mind that it's barely believable..the senses don't just come back they are heightened, sharpened, keener. As for 6th sense, it exists but mankind has grown beyond using it..it's not spooky kinda sense it merely comes from understanding and being connected into a more basic style of life. The brain is scientifically proven to alter with how one lives. I have to think hard about time and day and date. I have to work backwards or forwards from a day on which I had a dance meet or something similar but once I work it out it soon passes from my head and within an hour the info is gone. Interestingly I can gauge the time of day by how it feels on my skin..this is because I lived in a woodland for 3 years, homeless. Time does not interest me, I have night and day..sun and moon. It's a cool way to be because a day doesn't appear to last longer or be shorter than any other. Best stop..excuse length of post..it's my kind of interest..my apologies.

Touch would worry me the most. I dont think it can be replaced in the same way.. we need natural oxytocin/love hormone booster..

Touch is so important..try during lock down in your garden or wherever touching leaves, plants, the grass..it's good for the mind, supposedly proven by science..do you know just by lightly brushing the grass in a field you can learn the strongest wind direction as all grass tends to slant and grow in the direction of the greatest sunshine and away from what is the most regular wind direction..some leaves you thought were smooth by sight may have tiny hairs you never noticed beffort. .touch and feel your partner in darkness..learn their bodies thru touch..it's amazing what you can learn.
