This is a video of our future, and it's scary as hell

Of course, the “future” in the title refers to a possible future; we don’t have a magical crystal ball yet. But even though we can’t know what the future holds, if the current trends are any indication, Keiichi Matsuda’s video might be a very good showcase of what lies ahead, and it’s not pleasant. 

Titled Hyper-Reality, the six-minute video (unearthed by The Verge) plunges the viewer into a world where virtual reality covers nearly all facets of actual reality. Instead of being useful, however, it’s a nightmare of ads, messages and popups of all kind.
