As I get ready for work, I dress in my normal work attire. In order to make the void seem as real as possible, it portrays what you are wearing in real life onto your image in the void, meaning that, as a teacher, I have to dress professionally before I log on.
Luckily my family was never stricken too hard financially by the pandemic. At first, we feared that I might lose my teaching job if schools were unable to go back in person, but because I work at a private school, void technology was able to be provided to all teachers and students. Unfortunately, the void headset costs $1000 alone, and then the USB is an additional $500, so many public schools are unable to provide it to students and teachers. While the system is worth it in the long run, this high upfront cost is too much for many people to pay. This means that some people are being left behind, while others are given ample opportunity to use the void. This means that public schools, particularly ones in more rural areas, lack the proper technology to connect to the void. This high cost is also creating an issue in businesses as they cannot afford to provide their workers with such new technology. Many big businesses are up to date, but smaller businesses just can’t afford it, creating an even greater divide between the upper and lower classes.
