Facebook Horizon is shaping up to be an interesting social VR offering with powerful building tools that will allow players to create and share their own worlds.

All the satisfaction of a job well done, minus the aches and pains of manual labor.

Or is it because learning has typically been designed as a one-size-fits-all solution, despite the fact that humans are not clones?
