In my hands is a signed launch-day Xbox 360. Looking up, Bill Gates is smiling at me. Everybody in Best Buy is smiling.

I take off my Apple Vision. I am back in the retirement home. Nobody has visited me for 16 years. I put the Apple Vision back on.

I hold the Xbox 360. Everybody in Best Buy is smiling

@SwiftOnSecurity this is China levels of spoooky where they out the elderly in nursing homes to be managed by robots, with zero human contact.

Ever read Vernor Vinge's Rainbow's End (2007 Hugo winner)? Recommended.
Much on implications of pervasive Augmented Reality.

I got Vernor to speak at 2007 Hot Chips, then gave him a tour of #ComputerHistory Museum, great fun!

@SwiftOnSecurity In my hands is a signed launch-day Apple Vision. Looking up, Tim Cook is smiling at me. Everybody in the Apple Store is smiling.

I take off my Oculus. I am back in the keynote room. Mark Zuckerberg is smiling at me. I put the Oculus back on.

I hold the Apple Vision. Tim, Mark and everybody are smiling.

Mark Zuckerberg maybe or maybe not smiling in a dystopian keynote where everyone has a VR headset.

@SwiftOnSecurity How many years have you been waiting for the Apple version of this one? 😆

@SwiftOnSecurity This episode of Black Mirror is especially dark

@SwiftOnSecurity Why is it when I put my Vision glasses on, I find myself standing in an open field west of a white house with a boarded front door. A small mailbox is in front of me.

@compuwatcher @SwiftOnSecurity The fact that I understood that reference means I am so fucking old

DELETED

@compuwatcher @SwiftOnSecurity Sigh...open the mailbox and take the leaflet.

The cool part is that they got the regulators to agree that the headset counts as an exterior window. Consequently, they're allowed to warehouse you in windowless cells, saving the investors millions.

The future's sunny and bright!

@SwiftOnSecurity did not know new episode of "Black Mirror" dropped

@SwiftOnSecurity The reality is far darker than this. Taking off the headset will reveal the charred remains on the planet we neglected while chasing some stupid headset or some fancy auto correct or 1s and 0s on a computer that some decided to call "currency"

nohhue

@SwiftOnSecurity Ah, you finally ported this oldie over from Twitter and updated. :P

The saying "Go touch grass" grows more poignant day by day.

The tech industry is being funded by OPEC+ and #KochNetwork to create a fake virtual world so people will ignore a real world frying and growing increasingly uninhabitable.
