the limited lifespan of pets often deepens their emotional value. Knowing time together is finite makes every moment more precious, encouraging owners to cherish daily companionship, unconditional love, and joy. This impermanence amplifies gratitude and intensity of the bond, turning ordinary interactions into treasured memories. Many find that the inevitable farewell, though painful, highlights the profound impact pets have on our lives.https://www.zhihu.com/question/23295905

Virtual reality (VR) can partially replace certain real experiences, such as training simulations, virtual travel, remote education, and social interactions in constrained scenarios like pandemics. It offers accessibility, safety, and cost savings while enhancing immersion.However, VR cannot fully substitute authentic physical sensations, unpredictable real-world interactions, emotional depth, or sensory details like touch, smell, and genuine risk. Most experts agree it complements rather than replaces reality, lacking the sublime unpredictability and human connections of true experiences.In 2025, VR trends focus on hyper-realism and mixed reality, but physical authenticity remains irreplaceable for many.https://theconversation.com/why-virtual-reality-cannot-match-the-real-thing-92035 https://www.other.world/blog/vr-real-life https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9517547/ https://hqsoftwarelab.com/blog/virtual-reality-trends/

Cinema is increasingly becoming industrialized “content” rather than art. Streaming platforms prioritize quantity, algorithmic appeal, and instant consumption over auteur vision, risk-taking, or aesthetic depth. Franchise sequels, IP farming, and 90-minute “products” dominate because data-driven executives fear financial failure more than mediocrity. True cinematic art—slow, challenging, personal—still exists, but mostly in independent circles or festivals, marginalized by the content machine.https://www.theguardian.com/film/2023/sep/08/martin-scorsese-cinema-is-being-devalued https://www.indiewire.com/features/general/streaming-killing-cinema-content-1234898742/ https://variety.com/2024/film/features/film-vs-content-hollywood-debate-1235998741/
