but then you are not present, you are distracted by a computer. Just because that computer does not have a clunky monitor, doesn't mean that you aren't any less distracted. Some of the attitudes on this website, especially ones like yours, are the literal reason we are in this mess today. Please, please, if you have the power, push back on this nonsense from the inside. We need more people talking to other people like real humans, not like notes in a digital diary.

Nothing I described replaces or impacts talking to a human. If someone is going to distract themselves in XR, they can already do it more efficiently on a handset. The only change would be your posture and eye strain could possibly improve.

  Why then are you trying to justify invasive hidden cameras in more places? Really, why not just use the existing solutions? This push for « convenience » is how we ended up with microphones in people’s most private spaces. I urge you to consider whether humanity really needs more technological solutions to social problems.

Who are you to dictate what somebody enjoys? Don't worry about it. Do you.

Why is that a problem for you? It's XR, for them it's a notes app in the convenient place, for me it might be a next meeting reminder on the wall next to my work screen, so I can work less distracted and more focused. Why is their way of enriching their connected life a problem? I think some of the worst attitudes on this website is projecting own worst case scenarios and implying bad intentions to the most innocuous or honest signals. That's the problem much bigger than someone's glasses - you support polarisation and teaming (us vs them) instead of seeking connection or understanding.
