Is anyone else terrified that this is the beginning of the end of "outside"?
Like, I can see people wearing these full-time, everywhere, to "enhance" life at first with the ultimate goal of these _replacing_ life (i.e. why go outside, where you have to spend money and deal with people, when you can just wear these and be in a world that you control without leaving your couch?)
Or am I just becoming a curmudgeon? If I am, I didn't expect it to happen at 35!
I think MORE efficient indoor-tech, that allows you to get your stuff done MORE QUICKLY so you can go outside, is a goal we all should seek, as technologists.
Not forcing users outside in order to get their work done . . (not that is what you were saying).
