In fact, if VR technology continues to develop, it will definitely affect all aspects of our lives. For example, the online shopping you mentioned. If one day, a machine appears, which can copy and scan all your body data, upload your body data to the vr shopping system, and form your own appearance in the system, then you can try on clothes online, then choose your favorite clothes to place an order, and then deliver them directly to your door.

This technology must be based on two possibilities:

First, human technology invented vr body data scanning and established a perfect immersive shopping experience.

Second, there are enough businesses willing to settle in such vr shopping channels. The invention of this technology is bound to cause a new wave of impact on the physical industry. When your shopping experience is better at home than in reality, then not many people are willing to choose a more backward way. Just like everyone uses smart phones now, no one uses PHS.

This is only for vr shopping. Not only vr shopping, if vr can provide a more complete immersive experience, needless to say, it only needs to be close to 80% of the reality, and most people will be willing to use vr to replace some experiences in life, such as games, sports, transactions, etc. Similarly, this vr device must be acceptable to the public in order to promote this situation.

At that time, the social problems brought by vr technology may be that people will regard online as a new world, resulting in the coldness of the real world, and people will dilute the connection between the real world and switch to online interconnection.

Even in the end, human needs may be to complete their own food, clothing, housing and transportation online, and the diet, clothing and travel in the real world have become diluted.

Just like the world described in Ready Player One, people's shopping, work, entertainment, fitness and trading can be done online, and everyone can connect across geographical restrictions. This is what I think will happen when vr technology is the most perfect in the future.
