Lack of diversity = lack of diversity of opinion. We are in a tech echo chamber, like it or not.
And your following two questions are a great illustration of just that.
lol how hypocritical. you say I am stuck in an echo chamber, but when i ask for you to help me understand your differing opinion you don't even answer the questions. Just deploy your ad hominem and call it a day.
That's not what I wrote. Try again.
I've been reading a lot about behavior modification and technofeudalism and once you see it you can't unsee it. The tech companies are quite literally just farming us for data and using their gadgets as a Trojan horse to get us to accept more invasive stuff into our lives.
The product isn't vr glasses the product is you and for apple to sell the ability to nudge you into different behaviors with subtle cues in your daily activities. It's the same thing as Facebook but at least Facebook had a use case originally and people used it because they wanted to.
This tech is being conceptualized and designed and marketed at us not because there's a market for this stuff but they WANT there to be a market for it. They're doing it right now with this post, convincing people that it's actually really anticipated, but I'll ask you this: how many times have you been in conversation where someone brought up a problem that would be solved by ar glasses? Or one level above that, how many people have openly expressed to you a desire for glasses so they don't have to use their phone? I know you're not the one who was arguing against my original comment but that should tell you everything you need to know about the market conditions. They're not solving a problem, they're creating a demand.
I'm just saying, be weary of these tech companies. They have made their intentions clear enough to warrant skepticism. Here is an economist explaining this better than I can, if you're interested in the subject.
