The other side is the excitement of being one of the first experiencing this new technology. It's always a tradeoff.
E.g.: Would you rather go to space now, or wait until it's easy and comfy? For me, curiosity wins.
- malka 11y agoIt depends. From the point of view of a consumer ? easy and comfy wins. I would not pay to go in space now.
- Zombieball 11y agoI'm not sure what this means? Even early adopters are "consumers". Just a different customer segment. One that places more value on the excitement of a new technology than comfort and cost.
- malka 11y agoI meant that if I intented to work with VR, I would act differently, as I would see it as an investment, rather than a simple consumer item. As a consumer, I'd rather wait for the current gen to age a little, and buy it cheaper and with less bugs.
- return0 11y agoIn 2016, going to space is no longer a novelty. Now, if you asked me if i want to be the first to hook my brain to a computer ...
- majewsky 11y agoAnd be the first person in history to actually catch a computer virus? ;)

- burkaman 11y agoOnly 536 people have ever been to space, I think it's still novel.
- return0 11y agoI don't think history books remember "The 537th person to do X"
- cm2187 11y agoI'd rather wait until they have a good in-flight entertainment!
- ChristianGeek 11y agoI can already picture some billionaire space traveler watching images of earth on the in-flight 4K monitor while the real thing floats by outside the window next to him.
- cm2187 11y agoHe won't be watching earth. He will be watching Justin Bieber singing "happy birthday Mr Prisident" to Donal Trump.
