I mean, yea, earplugs and a blindfold work too, but how do I feel like I'm walking through a pasture with wet dirt between my toes if you cannot simulate the sensory system? That's what people imagine. A home-bound person wants to feel what it is like to skydive, not watch a POV video.

What if the future generations never gets to experience those feelings? They would not know what they are missing.

I have met kids, who have never seen a forest in real live and who tried to swipe away real life objects, so yeah, we might get there.

I have seen young people dismiss studies that say that being out in the forest will be beneficial for mental health by saying that for them it's the opposite. Forests gives them high anxiety and being in urban areas will calm them. This included parks.
