The Apple Vision Pro is supposed to be the start of a new spatial computing revolution. After several days of testing, it’s clear that it’s the best headset ever made — which is the problem.

    That’s an interesting perspective because I often feel the opposite. Especially post pandemic, I’ve gotten really into going out to bars and just talking to people. I barely even use my phone and sometimes will put it on do not disturb (unless wife calls) even while talking to people I barely know. They’re interesting folks.

    But also I do have friends I made on the internet and have been greatly changed by internet interactions. Hell even my ideology was as I grew up on XKCD. But I’ve isolated myself to nothing but the internet before. Once with depression and fear as a queer teenager, and once with depression and fear as a person living through a global pandemic (thank fuck I had my wife for that), and I need quite a bit of face to face communication too or my brain loses its shit. And I need real irl community.

      Based on the amount of screen time zoomers are reporting (saw some article about it recently and it was insane), I think there’s a boatload of people who are glued to devices and not being present.

      I’m a good bit older than that and I’ve definitely been making an effort to get off my phone. I took all the social apps off about 3-4 months ago and it’s been a big improvement. Gonna keep finding ways to unplug. I need to stop posting here during the day so much honestly. I’d probably get a lot more work done.
