Не большой рассказ про великабританию

Great Britain (3) The United Kingdom (or Great Britain) is situated on the British Isles. The British Isles consist of two large islands, Great Britain and Ireland, and about five thousand small islands. Their total area is over 244,000 square kilometres. The United Kingdom is made up of four countries: England, Wales, Scotland (on the island of Great Britain), and Northern Ireland (on the island of Ireland). Their capitals are London, Cardiff, Edinburgh, and Belfast respectively. The capital of the UK is London. The British Isles are separated from the European continent by the North Sea and the English Channel. The western coast of Great Britain is washed by the Atlantic Ocean and the Irish Sea. The surface of the British Isles varies very much. The north of Scotland is mountainous and is called the Highlands, while the south, which has beautiful valleys and plains, is called the Lowlands. The north and west of England are mountainous, but all the rest — east, centre, and south-east — is a vast plain. Mountains are not very high. Ben Nevis in Scotland is the highest mountain (1,343 m). There are a lot of rivers in Great Britain, but they are not very long. The Severn is the longest river, while the Thames is the deepest one. The mountains, the Atlantic Ocean, and the warm waters of Gulf Stream influence on the climate of the British Isles. It is mild the whole year round. The UK is one of the world's smallest countries. Its population is over 57 million. About 80 % of the population is urban. The UK is a highly developed industrial country. It is known as one of the world's largest producers and exporters of machinery» electronics, textile, aircraft, and navigation equipment. One of the chief industries of the country is shipbuilding. The UK is a constitutional monarchy. In law, Head of the State is Queen. In practice, Queen reigns, but does not rule. The country is ruled by the elected government with the Prime Minister at the head. The British Parliament consists of two chambers: the House of Lords and the House of Commons. There are three main political parties in Great Britain: the Labour, the Conservative, and the Liberal parties.

How many people, so many opinions, but still you can distinguish both the pros and cons of virtual reality. Positive characteristics include the following parameters:

Interact with games on a new, impressive level. This has never happened before. Sitting at home, you can travel to ancient Egypt or fight in space for a new planet. Since what is happening in the device seems real, then the emotions from this are genuine.

Good leisure. After a hard school or work day, you can immerse yourself in a fantastic world, forgetting about all the problems, without leaving home.

Development of non-standard thinking. Sometimes in games you have to react immediately, otherwise there is no way. Without this ability, they can't "survive", so gamers need to adapt.

Disadvantages:

Stress on the nervous system. Due to the fact that in horror movies, the feeling of fear is achieved due to loud sounds and a sharp change in the picture, this can negatively affect the gamer's nervous system.

High price of the device. Augmented reality is not a cheap toy, and you will have to pay for such a pleasure, and pay a lot.

It takes a lot of time. Playing games and watching movies in VR takes a long time, and you may not notice how deep the night has already come.
