Just like the segway was going to change the way we build cities?
Or how cryptocurrencies will replace national fiat money?
Or how google glasses have already become a mainstream reality?
Or how everyone will watch TV in 3D all the time?
Or how everyone will play games in VR?
Just because a technology is possible it does not mean it will become ubiquitous.
Hey, I still believe VR is gonna happen... someday... :'(
VR has already happened. Are you referring to “deep diving” or whatever word choice you want, where you don’t need to use controllers?
I don't know deep diving, I just want a standalone VR gaming headset that isn't owned by an invasive social-media corporation. Until I have something like that in my home, VR simply doesn't exist yet for me.
So if I say… “I simply want an electric vehicle with 2000km range on a single charge, and a 20m charge time. Until that exists, EVs just don’t exist yet for me.”… that means EVs haven’t happened yet?
It’s well and good that you know what you want, that doesn’t mean something hasn’t already been on market for years that fits the bill for 99% of people.
Huh. I’m flattered that my opinion about what I want to spend my money on matters enough to necessitate such an astute clarification. Thank you. I’ll try to keep in mind what might fit the bill for 99% of people as I continue to disregard Meta and TikTok products moving forward.
That device is coming in the coming years.
And I have full confidence that it’ll be one of the devices of all time!
