"The video shows a Korean family move through a typical day in the not-too-distant future. The husband goes to work, using large glass displays to show off a new car design to an older man who appears to be either his boss or an investor.

Meanwhile, the couple’s young daughter goes to a school filled with unbreakable tablets and virtual Jenga games. Is this our future?" [^]

Perhaps, Chris, it's time for you to shift the bag-of-meat-over-bones 25 degrees south of icy Toronto to 18.8N for a well-deserved vacation, and go riding non-virtual elephants with me in the Land of Smiles ?
Happy New Year !
