Yesterday's story about airpods causing wearers to isolate themselves and become unhappier comes to mind. Headphones in your ears, display in your glasses... about the only way to connect with anyone will be to smell really bad I guess.

The "smell" will be a pepper sprey! Why people can not just leave strangers alone? Always soliciting attention and "look at me" attitude! Most people are not "isolating themselves", they have stuff to do and places to be. They do not want to talk about some animal, or current issue of today!

  That doesn't sound distinct from "isolating themselves". Some people actually enjoy connecting with people.

  Somebody saying hello to you has you reaching for pepper spray?

I can just imagine people walking around in a daze while instagram reels play endlessly in their meta spy glasses.

  Folks are already walking (and driving, which is more scary) in a daze, glued to their doomscrolling rectangles

    Now it's even lower friction. Zuck wants absolutely no delay between you having a moment of inactivity and having reels in your face. They need every single drop of your attention on adverts.
