Abstract

In the modern era, technology is well developed and we are surrounded by most of such technologies. We are so used to of these technologies that even unknowingly these either directly or indirectly are influencing our thinking style, behavior pattern, feelings and our actions; in short, overall lifestyle. Virtual Reality (VR) is a stimulated three-dimensional environment created by computer processing and can be perceived through users’ senses. Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a part of computer science which produces programs that simulates human intelligence. It is not an exaggeration that we are so much dependent on the technology today, which is furthermore increasing only. There is an urgent need to be mindful, and become aware to about this in order to restrict this dependency including the harmful effect of these technologies. The main purpose of the present research is to evaluate how much modern technologies including virtual reality and artificial intelligence influencing our cognition and behaviour including our thoughts, feelings and actions; and whether they are only helpful or do they have some adverse effects also. After thoroughly reviewing the literature related to the present study it can be concluded that VR and AI either directly or indirectly are influencing our cognition and behaviour including our thoughts, feelings and actions. Emotions and feelings are associated with AI for producing extraordinary results and intervening in important social roles. In virtual environment a person may think, feel and behave as if the event were real despite knowing that it is not.
