Augmented reality is new Virtual reality ? I don't think so

I've came along with this article: "Augmented Reality is the new Virtual Reality"

 Spend couple of minutes and read it cause it is quite interesting and than think about it. Do you agree with this statement ? This question is very tricky. You need to think about it.
If you think only in terms of trends, fashion, current "hype", then yes, augmented reality is the new virtual reality. Augmented reality is currently making everybody say "woooow it`s sooo coooool". It look great, you can feel like hero of sci-fi movie from top shelf. Everybody is talking about it. Large companies invest a lot of money in it, Microsoft with Hololens, Apple with Metaio, Daqri with their helmet, and so on. It looks futuristic, it looks nice, it is promoted as good fun, as a must have of every modern person. If you think only this way you must agree with:

Virtual Reality is cool, don't get me wrong - but VR has been around for ages, and just like your parents and the acronym "lol", it's just not cool anymore. It had its time.

 Ok so why did I wrote that I don't agree ? You need to think more about technology itself. About the usage, about the possibilities related to it, about the purpose of it. Than something is missing, something does not fit into the puzzle. Why ? Because AR and VR are totally different. I've described technical differences here so there is no point to write it again.

Lets focus on different aspect. Differences will never allow to substitute one technology by another. Virtual reality will never push augmented reality from the market, and same story in the other way. For example:
You will never make - using augmented reality - as good training software as the one made in virtual reality. And in the other way, you will never make software that will help worker to assemble a car using virtual reality, and using augmented reality you will. This is only one trivial example, but with out any effort you will easily think about many different ones.

As you can see there is always other side of the coin. This topic probably will be touched many times in future. And it is good news, both technologies are fascinating, both can help a lot of people, but we also need to remember that both of them have also a dark side. Virtual reality can build so beautiful worlds that people can be lost in them, they can lose control and forget that VR isn't real. Augmented reality - mostly project related with glasses/goggles - are bringing more and more legal and ethical problems. That is why we need to remember that there is something more than technology in the background
