The scariest part about this video:
Comments on it saying "well, it had a frightening turn towards the end".
The video opens with someone eschewing physical activity for literally wriggling on the floor, like a fish out of water. Streamlining activities like ordering food or selecting clothes, but each step we remove from the process, each abstraction, is another human interaction lost, another retreat into hermitage.
I don't want this future.
- sodiumphosphate 14y agoWho's to say that wriggling on the floor in a virtual reality simulation isn't the next Pilates or Yoga? Also, the girl referred to her jogging gamification and navigation app. Isn't it plausible that many more people would exercise with the added encouragement training that such technology could provide? Streamlining mundane activities frees time for more interesting ones. Augmented reality might enhance human interaction, rather than diminish it. Anyway, I appreciate your thoughtful comment, but I thought I could counter it with some devil's advocacy.
