Simulated reality

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
(Briefly explain why you chose it, why it matters, and what your preliminary impression of it was.)

Our class talks about technology and how technology affects culture. I have always been interested in the simulated reality theory and I do think we live in a simulation. It connects to the course because how we view our technological progress and what we are trying to get to affects our culture. If we were to get to VR, such as Ready Player One, would that be a simulated reality and how does that affect our society. I think simulated reality theory connects very well with what we talk about and adds quantum mechanics to it.

The article has some citations that do not lead to other pages, meaning they are faulty, which means there should be pages added to those citations that do not go anywhere. The article goes over simulated reality theory, relates it to computers and technology and as well as dreaming as a form of simulated reality. I think there could be a paragraph or two discussing how it affects our society today and how VR and alternate realties could play into it. The pages also does not have a talk page, which should obviously be added. The article is fairly strong because most of it is scientific research and factual evidence that is not refutable. There is a small two line paragraph where the philosophical implications of simulated reality is talked about, but I think there could be more. They introduce certain theories, arguments, and hypothesis which makes me enjoy reading the article.
