I wonder how VR will change this.
I got into tech as a teenager in the 90s because I was such an introvert and it felt like a way to game the system and maybe meet girls or avoid having to get an actual job.
Hah. Waking up every day in this bizarro world of endless overwork just to survive while some other geek wins it all and disappoints humanity has gotten stale. And even with all of this connectedness, people often feel more separated than ever. Like everything I ever wanted came to pass in a corrupted fashion.
So far VR is one of the few things that I consider a tentative cure for depression. I think it's because shifting out of this reality is pretty much guaranteed to feel better than staying at this point. So maybe VR will end up being the internet that I thought this one was going to be.
