Everything is useful
Hi everyone and the Meta Team,
I am writing this post with a lot of hope, a bit of nerves, and a big dream. My name is David, I am a student from Romania, and I am absolutely fascinated by technology, gaming, and the future of virtual reality.
For a long time now, I’ve been following everything Meta does. When the Meta Quest 3S was announced, I was incredibly excited. To me, VR isn’t just about playing games—it’s a gateway to learning, exploring places I’ve never been, and experiencing technology in a way that feels like science fiction come to life.
Unfortunately, the reality of living in Romania makes it incredibly difficult to reach this dream. Due to the local economy and high prices relative to our average incomes, a VR headset is considered a massive luxury here. As a student, I don't have my own income, and my family has to prioritize everyday living expenses and my education. Saving up for something like a Quest 3S feels almost impossible right now, and it’s honestly tough when your biggest passion feels completely out of reach just because of where you live.
I know this is a huge shot in the dark, and I know Meta is a massive company that probably gets thousands of messages like this. I’m not looking for a handout for no reason, but I wanted to share my genuine story and passion. If there is any program, a giveaway, a refurbished unit, or any way the Meta community or team could help a dedicated student experience VR, it would honestly change my world.
Even if nothing comes from this post, I want to thank the Meta team for creating technology that inspires kids like me to dream big. Thank you to anyone who took the time to read this.
With respect and hope,
David
