I'm 23 and have just bought a house outside of Cambridge. I saved and saved and have managed. If people make the right choices and that is what they want to do, then they can. Outside of London, owning a house isn't a ridiculous idea.

I try to be nice and to do the right thing.
VR isn't a nascent technology though. It's a technology that has been reimagined, then push back to the fore in a repackaged form to a world with different software capabilities to what existed in the mid 90s. It's todays version of the 3D cinema - an older idea being reapplied in a new world.
I hope it can change our lives as human beings for the better, but from what exists today, I'm yet to see anything game changing. The future - who knows. You could be right, it could explode, or it could come to nothing. My comment merely stated it would be interesting to watch and find out if everything that has been said to date will actually happen.
That being said, of course everything develops, so it will be interesting what kind of stepping stone the rift is, and whether the momentum of it can carry through further, smaller innovation.
Where I can see it being more useful is things like heavy industry for controlling robots and training for doctors - far more industrially based. Even teaching would be cool - imagine the history lessons.
Will be interesting to see the industry develop...
Really, the best thing is to remember we're all just human beings, and should try our best to try and look after one another as best as possible.
Full disclosure: I help produce the events - but you did ask.

If there is not much more content to actually be seen in the article, it works in favour of those producing quick and easy content to hit metrics as they won't be over promising.
Imagine trying to concentrate - you're likely to be forcing yourself to do it. It's an action of force.
Now imagine meditation - it's a different mindset - one of letting your mind go.
They're different things, but work cooperatively to keep you productive in the right direction.
In a world where there is so much bad press and news, it is nice to read something from the other side. Refreshing and encouraging.
It's just poor decision making to use such an object, which could be interpreted to have connotations to stereotypical views about women, when trying to have a campaign against that very thing.
Dharmesh Shah (Founder of Hubspot) actually gave a decent talk at Business of Software on this: http://thebln.com/talk/lessons-from-the-trenches-in-scaling-...
I think he can say it far better than I could.
That being said, I think it's something alot of companies go through when growing. It's important though!

But, ultimately people will inevitably try to claim ownership, control it, use it, and prevent others from using it. Equally, those who create it will wish for it to remain private.
The issues here seem to come from a world that has moved beyond scrambling government's legislation to keep up with data. And a government's perception that they have the right to access whatever they want.
The second piece of advice is if you are anything like me, it's not necessarily a group of friends you are looking for - it's one or two deep friendships. Concentrate on a couple of key relationships and maybe more will come through that!
