Can Virtual Reality be a Substitute for Real Life Experiences? [on hold]

Why should I use Virtual Reality in real life?

A lot of businesses and individuals are using VR like a force fit usage in so many things in daily life where it may not be required.

e.g. VR roller coaster rides and Fitness gym (syncing VR and your body motion to project VR on eyes), VR cinema (where you actually see a 2D flat screen inside the VR cinema app), VR social (social interaction using avatars in VR)

Is it like a magic which I experience and then keep it away? Or is it an essential device like my Phone which I keep on using in my daily life?
