People have said the exact same things about phones ("who'd want to carry around a device in their pocket everywhere? It'd be too heavy and annoying"). Really, it's simply a lack of imagination. People wear glasses and contacts all the time and no one bats an eye (metaphorically speaking at least).

- andsoitis 4y agoIt is going to be an interesting technical challenge to build contact lenses (or glasses) that, within the next 10 years: - have enough compute to render the virtual artifacts - are self-powered (maybe from electrical impulses from your body?)_ - have some way to get input - can power your headphones - have storage (or networking capability) WITHOUT you having to carry another device on you (likely a smart watch or smart ring or smart phone). Anyway, I think we're getting bogged down in boring device debate. The more interesting thing (which you allude to somewhat) is how weird / different the future virtual world will be. My money is on it being more Borg-like and less Matrix-like.
