What if in future SW evolves into a Virtual Reality community?

Wouldn't THAT be interesting meeting users that way?

Have you ever read fahrenheit 451. Remember the four wall tv thing. That's what this place is already starting to remind me of.

As was mentioned in the previous post, Montag has three television walls in his parlor. Mildred, Montag's superficial wife, is infatuated with the interactive television shows and spends the majority of her day watching them on her parlor walls. The parlor walls are essentially massive television screens that are the size of each wall. At the beginning of the novel, Mildred petitions Montag to buy a fourth parlor wall. However, Montag explains to his wife that he simply cannot afford the fourth wall because it costs nearly one-third of his annual salary. Mildred's addiction to her parlor walls is typical in Bradbury's dystopian society where individuals are constantly entertained. Mildred values her interactive television shows more than she does her own family. Her addiction to the parlor walls contrasts with Montag's intellectual pursuits throughout the novel.
