Virtual reality is offering a new platform for creative ideas in the tech world. The list of what we will be able to do with virtual reality is never ending. Companies of all genres are learning about how they can build and innovate to work with this technology. Here are 20 examples of some really cool things you will be able to do with virtual reality.

1. Watch movies. Virtual reality movies will be unlike any IMAX movie experience ever.


2. Fly, anywhere you want. We've all had flying dreams, well now your dreams can be a reality. Want to fly over amazing cities, oceans, skyscrapers? No problem.

3. Be the character in your favorite film! Into adventure? Well, just put on your VR glasses and hop into the world of Indiana Jones!

4. Rock your head off on stage at your favorite concert. Be the star!

5. Play 360 games. Instead of a remote control, you're the remote!

6. Be a tourist in the country you have always dreamed of traveling to. See monuments, sculptures, caves, historical buildings, archaeological digs, old towns and villages that have always been a dream of yours to see!

7. Play a sport. Play ping pong on an island off the coast of Mexico.

8. Run somewhere cooler than the track, like the Grand Canyon.

9. Experience historical events. For real.

10. Relax on an island while in your backyard.

11. Use it like Skype, but actually be with the person you want to talk to. Imagine actually hanging out with your best friend from Germany!

12. Walk through the stadium while watching the game.

13. Travel through the solar system.


14. Simulate a flight and pilot through the sky over the world, or maybe blast out into the galaxy.

15. Interact with musical instruments and create new compositions.

16. Create art on a new dimension. If you're a creative person, VR will allow you to create art on a whole new base. Giving you more control and freedom.

17. Experience the fictional story of your favorite book.

18. Do things you suck at. Maybe you're really good at skateboarding, but can't do that kick-back-flip-360-turn. Well, how 'bout just simulate the activity and learn how to do it in slow motion?

19. Study for anatomy with 3-D imaging.

20. Ride a roller coaster in your living room.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
