Cappadocia is a living example of just how odd yet beautiful nature can be. It presents a fantasy-like landscape that looks like it's been plucked out of a fairy tale, alien-like hills and boulders that seem as if they've been transported from another planet. The humans who once lived here used the area's soft stone to create underground shelters, leaving all kinds of weird architectural wonders in their wake. The lunar landscape is stunning on its own, but the countless hot-air balloons that fill up the sky with shades of red, yellow, orange and cream simply take its beauty to the next level. The Goreme Open Air Museum and its rock-cut

churches and the subterranean wonders of Kaymakli are among the best things to see in Cappadocia.

It's easy to see why the Whitehaven Beach ranks among the most photographed beaches in the world. The magnificent 7 km stretch of white sand that feels like your own private slice of heaven presents an aura of peace and serenity, letting you experience relaxation at its very best. The beach is accessible via boat from Hamilton Island and the ports of Shute Harbour and Airlie Beach. To enjoy the best view of Whitehaven Beach, make your way to Tongue Point. Time your trip with a low tide and you'll get to see a mesmerizing fusion of colors that always promises the grandest of views.

What does this mean you might ask? Well, virtualization is essentially the process of taking something physical and creating a digital version of it. Think of a folder on your computer or phone as a virtual filing cabinet, for example. Through the process of virtualization, significantly more information is able to be stored and more accurately sorted. Imagine searching through hundreds of paper folders looking for a line of text, then compare it to searching keywords on your computer. It's much easier to do the latter and that means that any service or business that operates in the virtual space can increase its efficiency rate.

Online gaming is an excellent example of an industry that benefits from this process. As technology grows, companies can offer higher quality services to larger populations which raises the profit potential, ultimately, hopefully, raising the quality of products as well. Programs like Discord use this process of virtualization to create online communities, forums, and news channels that can be tailored to the user's needs.

Online casinos have used these communities to generate growth and interest in their websites and services. Allowing space for players to talk to each other about games creates an attachment to them outside of the platform they are playing on. This expands their level of outreach to consumers and enables them to receive direct and indirect feedback, which can be used to stay up to date with current business trends and builds rapport between the business and its customers. Customer retention is an excellent metric on which to gauge company success and helps shape the future of the business.

Jackbox Games is a company that has used virtualization to take games like charades and Pictionary and bring them, and others, to the virtual world. They have basically taken family board game night and turned it into a video game. One of the features that make Jackbox
