Having taken part in virtual reality testing, I'd hate to see what this would do to the workplace.
We had enough people barfing just trying to find thier way around a room. Could you imagine how bad it will be when these things actually hit the market affordably?
An impressionable 13 year old is threatened by a school administrator of being sent to jail. He kills himself. Hmm....
Barring any chance that the kid was *severely* emotionally troubled, I would hazard a guess that the administrator didn't say, "You know you could go to jail for doing something like this." but rather said, "Your little punk ass is going straight to jail!"
It's called tact. Apparently, the principal didn't have any. As a result, a 13 year old student is dead by his own hand, and the principal will have to deal with that knowledge for the rest of his natural life. It's too bad the kid's parents will probably sue the pants off of the school system, because the guilt that guy is living with, I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy.

This doesn't surprise me either.
