Reply to Why is VR and AR developing so slowly? by Neurogence
It's useless tech, that's why.
It's faster and more efficient to go to a website than fuss with a 3D environment, and when you're done you don't have to "leave", you can just close the tab. And you can have multiple tabs open at once and flick between them. VR is stupid slow and clumsy in comparison.
And AR us even dumber. I mean really, just what I want: MORE pop-up ads in my life, only now in real life!

Religion has been observably ridiculous for ages. "Ignore your own observations in favor of what people believed centuries ago!"
Proof, logic, basic common sense... It’s meaningless to these people. You think some tech will change things?
The Information Age came along and everyone is dumber than ever.

Right, the whole "we're not just in The Matrix, we are The Matrix" thing.
Kind of fun to think about.

That book was stupid.
"The world is a hellscape. Solution: ignore it."
Okay kids...

Having a hard time with this concept - you'd spend the bulk of your time in a fictional universe?

Well you're assuming the existence of an afterlife. Evidence is questionable.

Tech is a great big neutral.
The world is a mess but life expectancy and relative personal freedoms are better than they've been in centuries. The trends are positive. But I doubt tech is a huge contributing factor.
And as far as what good... I mean, I personally am a huge fan of indoor plumbing, medicine, travel, communication... sorry what about all of this isn't good enough for you?

Makes me think meditation and focused thought will be the superpower of the future.

Well we never really left that age. It started the second we evolved into humans.

This looks really cool but I can't stomach Twitter. Any chance you'll look at Mastodon? Sigmoid.Social would be right up your alley
