Cyberpunk & Relationships
| I believe it would. I imagine that some people would rather spend the entirety of their lives online, in a vr system, than outside of it. That would be especially attractive if you can change who you are in there. If you can also experience sensations like kissing or having sex or holding hands (degenrates) online, why would anyone go back to the real world?

It would probably become a tool/toy of the rich... if only because they would be the only ones who could afford to be automatically fed/bathed/medicated etc while in the real world. Everyone else would either have to turn off the VR every so often to keep themselves from dying IRL, or... they'd just die, like people do from playing too much DOTA/WoW.
| There would be even more people having relationships with fictional characters rather than real human beings since the technology would be there to make them more "real". Imagine Joi from Blade Runner 2049 but with any fictional character you want. In a way that's already happening but the tech just isn't there.
| Damn, the evolution of the waifu culture is gonna be a fun watch
| >>133979 think about how many hours you spend playing games, that would be how many hours a normal human being would be in VR, it will not be healthy and of course people would die for it, but you don't have to pay too much for VR today, i imagine you'll pay less in the future.
I believe that your referring to the next step of be, where rich idiots would order a machine where they can connect and it would take care of their bodies as the love in VR that will be expensive as fuck.

| How do you think a cyberpunk future might affect our relationships?
Many people are already more connected online, but of course from a distance.
Beyond that, if we ever get to a time when we can completely change or switch our own bodies, will that affect how we view each other as humans?
Some people fall for someone easily online without ever having met them. In the future, would this be more common if VR chat becomes a standard?
