'Ah I better stop wasting time and get up, get that VR headset'

Alan excitedly gets up and jump into a black jeans with blue T-shirt.

'Now that I am out, I don't have an automobile'

Alan use his phone to call for a vehicle, now the world is all about technology, their are many apps specifically for paid rides.

Alan patiently wait for the ride to arrive and soon the ride arrive, Alan get in the car and they are on their way.

Alan paid for the ride and came out, he find that their are not that many people.

'What is happening?'

As he went in the store...

"Good morning"

The man nodded his head at Alan.

"What did you want to buy?"

"The Fully Immersive VR headset, I have already make a pre-order"

The man weirdly look at Alan till Alan think that something is wrong.

"Nobody buys it from the store now, you just call and we deliver it"

The man explained.

"Oh, I hope I can get one"

Alan is feeling anxious now.

"Of course"

The man bring a package to Alan which Alan excitedly grab and call for the ride.

He soon arrived at home.

Now Alan is in his room, he slowly move his hands on the package feeling its texture.

Slowly he open the package, in the package is a shiny white headset with other paper which are obviously the manual.

That's right only this two things are inside, the current world of technology has advanced that you only need to put on the VR on your head and then you are set.
