         http://www.npr.org/blogs/alltechconsidered/2015/03/08/391278229/developers-continue-push-to-make-virtual-reality-mainstream.

               Laura Sydell's work as a Digital Culture correspondent for National Public Radio focuses on the ways technology affects culture and how people live. The article is an ongoing report on the current and future uses of virtual reality and how it has been demonstrated to the world thus far. She writes about her first experience with Virtual Reality and the progress and shortcomings of the technology as it stands today. Some people get nauseous, and She ponders if it will receive mainstream acceptability. She has been reporting on technology issues since 2003,and for the purposes of the article has hands on experience having used virtual reality technology at various trade shows, and product demonstrations since 2013, at the beginning of the resurgence of this technology.

               I chose this research item because NPR is heard and read by a great number of people across the world,and the author Laura Sydell asks the same question I would ask. Will Virtual Reality affect the way we live, and in what ways?

              There is a quote that I will be using from the article, which is why I chose it.
