We are all connected..... To each other, biologically...... To the Earth, chemically...... To the rest of the Universe atomically.

If Lyle gives VR the thumbs up then what more convincing does anyone else need :gaul: Good man Lyle. I hope when I am his age I am experiencing the first holodeck :laugh:

I am 73 and just got my first VR headset and seeing this video shows that no matter how old you are some things will still amaze you and surprise you and change how you think and act. VR for me has opened a new world and one that I am loving every minute of. 

My 86 year old buddy came over and tried on the VR headset and became a believer (he flies the PMDG 747 like a pro and has 70 inch monitor and fast computer,,hey we all are just kids at heart)

Enjoyed watching this.  At his age he is not backing away from technology, staying stuck in the old times.  He must live life to the fullest, every day.  I'm 45 years away from that age, hopefully I will make it!
