Consider that you are living a few centuries later! You may be able to manipulate your world in a virtual manner--programmatically. For example, to acquire a car for transportation (virtual or real?), you may do the following:

  java.transport.Car car = new com.chrysler.Automobile();
  car.setColor(java.awt.Color.GREEN);
  car.setMotor(new com.mercedesbenz.Motor(2200));
  // ...

Just imagine! (... could you figure out what I meant?)
