1. Unreal, this is unreal because while training for surgery and flying jet practice is another thing but when it comes into action it is very difficult to perform actions in the real world.
2. It consists of highly complex technology, not easy to develop. 
3. Addiction to Virtual Reality is the most common thing because people love to use this technology for their enjoyment and entertainment.
4. It can destroy the relationship between students and the human community.
5. Lack of flexibility, IT is not that flexible that we want.
