What does Virtual Reality mean for the future of Social Networking?

The conventional wisdom, of course, is that the future of the social network will just be Facebook with some interesting virtual reality add-ons. Instead of posting photos and videos, for example, you might post a 360-degree experience showing you immersed in some virtual world. You would still have the same friends and the same network – only you might choose to interact with them from time-to-time in the virtual world as well. For example, you might invite a friend in a different part of the real world to play ping-pong in the virtual world as a brief diversion from a boring day at the office.

Is a social virtual world the same thing as a virtual social world?

How you answer that question is also where you think the future of social networking is headed. the answer is that a social virtual world is going to be way more interesting than a virtual social world. In fact, people might find that it’s so much more interesting that they unplug from the real world and spend every possible waking moment within the virtual world.
