Ican see in ten years when we're all sitting around a table at a restaurant with 6 other people, flitting around on our AR systems. We'll say, "Remember when we used to talk and show each other funny stuff on our phones?". There will be some vague nodding and mumbling and we'll go back to our AR and even eat our meal with it on.

Still cooler than any Apple Vision user. At least those nerds built/cobbled together something. Are they the same that had a map of their campus in doom/quake and using GPS receivers ran around larping the 'map'?

There's a passage in Charles Stross' Accelerando where the genius protagonist's cyber glasses get stolen, leaving the protagonist functionally lobotomized from suddenly losing touch with 90% of their nominal information processing capacity. I bet it's the same for these chucklefucks lmao

The day I realized that if I lost my phone I wouldn't know anybody's phone number brought that scene home for me.

According to this article, it is.

quote:

When I take it off, every other device feels flat and boring: My 75-inch OLED TV feels like a CRT from the ’90s; my iPhone feels like a flip phone from yesteryear, and even the real world around me feels surprisingly flat. And this is the problem. In the same way that I can’t imagine driving a car without a stereo, in the same way I can’t imagine not having a phone to communicate with people or take pictures of my children, in the same way I can’t imagine trying to work without a computer, I can see a day when we all can’t imagine living without an augmented reality. When we’re enveloped more and more by technology, to the point that we crave these glasses like a drug, like we crave our iPhones today but with more desire for the dopamine hit this resolution of AR can deliver.

I know deep down that the Apple Vision Pro is too immersive, and yet all I want to do is see the world through it. “I’m sure the technology is terrific. I still think and hope it fails,” one Silicon Valley investor said to me. “Apple feels more and more like a tech fentanyl dealer that poses as a rehab provider.” Harsh words, but he feels what we all feel, a slave to our smartphone, and he’s seen this play before and he knows what the first act is like, and the second act, and he knows how it ends.
