    I never understood why they make shit you have to wear on your face when like 70% of the population wears glasses already.

    Something I didn’t find out until I was in physical therapy is how we rely on our sight for balance. One of the things they have you do when learning how to walk and stand again is closing your eyes and trying to balance on one foot. I’ve never been less interested in VR because of that.

      I understand that completely and have had similar experiences that taught me that, too.

      The “VR will be everywhere and you better get in on the ground floor or you’re a Luddite” euphoria posting was everywhere, sort of like the treat printer hype now, with a similar misanthropic disregard for naysayers or even for people that aren’t in a position to benefit from the bazinga tech, or are even negatively affected by it.
