Tamagotchi Kids: Could The Future Of Parenthood Be Having Virtual Children In The Metaverse?

New levels of madness!                                                                                                                            Today’s technology is unrecognisable from the time when the Tamagotchi toy was developed, and You will have to put on a virtual reality headset to bring the child to life.

According to an expert on artificial intelligence, would-be parents will soon be able to opt for cheap and cuddle-able digital offspring. Suggesting that wearing “high-tech gloves able to deliver tactile feedback” while handling the Tamagotchi kid “might reproduce the physical sensations of cuddling, feeding and playing with one’s offspring”.

Which means that if you are in your teens now, you may look forward to playing with a grandchild who will exist only in the immersive digital world of the metaverse “which will range from ‘googoo gaga’ to backchat, as they grow older”.

Within 50 years, technology will have advanced to such an extent that babies which exist in the metaverse are indistinct from those in the real world.
