In my hands is my first iPod. Steve Jobs is smiling at me. Everybody at the Apple Store is smiling.

I take off my Apple Vision. I am back in the retirement home. Nobody has visited me for 12 years. I put it back on.

I hold my iPod. Everybody in the Apple Store is smiling.

@SwiftOnSecurity when I'm old enough that an AVP is preferable to the real world my neck probably won't be able to support the weight.

@Affekt @SwiftOnSecurity

I canโ€™t read AVP without automatically thinking it refers to Alien vs. Predator.

@imalcolm @SwiftOnSecurity I'd spell it out but I secretly hope a trademark lawyer chokes every time I use an acronym.

@SwiftOnSecurity we put that feeling into every bottle of Simple Swiftโ€™sโ€ฆ

@johnelamb It really does have Simple Rick vibes, doesn't it? :rickhey2:

@SwiftOnSecurity so youโ€™re just in the movie Surrogates?

@SwiftOnSecurity 12 years is a really, really long time to survive in a retirement home.

@Farbs @SwiftOnSecurity

It is, but never underestimate the longevity-extending powers of sheer spite.

@SwiftOnSecurity ๐Ÿ’” heartbreakingly dismal.

12 years means they have tons of money.

as soon as the money runs out, though... ๐Ÿ’€

@SwiftOnSecurity Still got the original, cracked screen and all but still working.๐Ÿ˜†

Wow...thanks for this really dark toot. ๐Ÿ˜œ๐Ÿคช๐Ÿ˜‰๐Ÿ˜Š

Frank Bennett

@SwiftOnSecurity That's hilarious (I'm old enough and isolated enough to enjoy the laugh without hesitation or remorse).

WestCoastCliche

@SwiftOnSecurity Why do we ever take it off? Why cling so to reality? ๐Ÿ™ƒ

@SwiftOnSecurity Ha! Gonna show this to the guys at Bingo tomorrow.

Pretty sure this is a reality that will hit quite some ppl down the road...

Aren't we all just living in The Grand Illusion anyway? ๐Ÿ˜‰

@SwiftOnSecurity reworked the Microsoft one for Apple. Lol nice.

@Toddedritewim I am sure #TanngerinePalpatine has much larger man boobs, and no tattoos, as these hurt during application and no coward like #PoopypantsPinochet would endure that. Also, too large hands. #Trump

Give it a few years - we won't need the big ski mask, it's in the contact lenses and feels like remembering things but it can be real if you tell it to be so. In our lifetime this will be real. I'm glad to be alive today.

@Luna @SwiftOnSecurity I was thinking "Maybe the Matrix was right, and 1999 was the pinnacle of human civilization"

(ok, so the first iPod came out in 2001, but close)

Futuristic hell. Especially if it's Apple folks visiting me and not Linux lovers, and weird edge-case hackers.

@SwiftOnSecurity straight out from an episode of black mirror

Paul Campbell

@SwiftOnSecurity At least you have your memories^Wsubscriptions.

Frank Quednau

@SwiftOnSecurity the 12 years is kinda unrealistic. Everything else is what weโ€™re heading for.

chillyspoon

@SwiftOnSecurity wow - you successfully wrote a William Gibson novel in 9 short sentences, dark stuff!

Pxl Phile

@SwiftOnSecurity but will the Apple Vision have had the even-wider lightning adapter or not?
