The average American spends something like 3 hours per day watching TV, and upwards of 6 hours of total screen time, according to a quick Google search. Is it really that much of a stretch to imagine a world where the screens we use are part of a head-mounted display? Think about any time you've been on a bus, train or plane -- most people on board are using their phones or tablets. I suspect within this decade it's common for those devices to be supplanted by AR/VR headsets.

> The average American spends something like 3 hours per day watching TV Would Better Call Saul be a better story in VR? One of the things that makes shows and movies good is tight editing and focus; a VR system where I can look around is the antithesis of that. Same way I feel about open world games like GTA V vs. something like Bioshock which is highly linear but also highly directed. But FWIW I'm totally with you about the airplane headset, never have I wanted to be somewhere else then when I'm on a plane...
