Today my daughter brought home her prizes for school fundraising, which included an exceptionally cheap plastic “VR headset” - just a slightly better version of Google Cardboard.

I stuck my phone in and she watched a 360-degree YouTube video of a roller coaster. According to her, it was the best thing ever.

I tried to look through it and couldn’t make the image clear. But I don’t know if it’s because the headset is so cheaply made or because my eyesight has deteriorated so much.

These, my friends, are the joys of middle age.
