The author talked about the clumsy virtual reality hardware - goggles, gloves and so on, but also about the keyboard-mouse-screen option. Both had difficulties then, VR hardware being clumsy and expensive, and regular hardware being clumsy and cheap...
SL seems to be somewhat like the aspiration of that time, but it still is clumsy and difficult, and a niche.
I tried it, but for me the main point would be scripting, and I just don't have the time and inclination to script much on my free time, so I haven't logged on for a while.
So, things have changed much in some ways in 12 years, but not so much in some ways. We're still ways off from a virtual world usable by everybody.
I haven't really though what I'd really like to build in SL. Schrödinger's box (with a cat both dead and alive inside) is hígh on my list.

Chairs, it is probably the fact that people standing up talking to each other give a restless feeling while people sitting down or lounging about doing the same gives lazy, comfy feeling.
On the other questions, I am as puzzled as the next guy.
