We've wanted virtual environments from moment that William T. Riker stepped onto the Holodeck. We've been dreaming of a cyberpunk reality since the first snow crash. It feels strange to blame Apple for this "vision" of computing.
- toyg 3y agoThat "we" is a bit of an assumption. Was a relatively small group of tech-enthusiast and socially-awkward people, trying to hide behind cool digital lives? Sure, guilty as charged. Was the world population at large asking for the same...? Eh.
- wvenable 3y agoI remember owning a computer when most people didn't have one. I remember owning one of the earliest smartphones and sitting on the bus every day being the only person playing on my phone. I remember being the only person with a smartwatch (the Pebble).
- toyg 3y agoYeah, and now there is plenty of backlash for the world "we" have built for ourselves. The problems are starting to outweigh the benefits, even for enthusiasts.
