You can attend concerts around the world for a fraction of the cost. Maintain relationships in higher dimensionality with people who aren't in your immediate neighborhood. Keep in touch with parents who don't live near you, or are in an elder care home.

Visit space! Visit worlds that don't exist! Walk around ancient Rome or see the inside of pyramids.

I’m not saying there isn’t value - there is. I’m saying it’s unlikely to become as mainstream as a phone, Facebook, instagram, WhatsApp, etc.

Fair point. I would always take the under on that comparison, however. Point at any one thing and I would bet that it won't reach that level of popularity. However, something will - I just don't want to bet on which one it would be.
