Likewise. I'd never want to have to take out my handheld computer, boot it up, and connect it to the internet just to kill 2 minutes looking at pictures of cats, when I can just as easily look at my wallet full of cat Polaroids.

I see a future where you blink twice to power up your ocular nerve implants for a few minutes of stim, then power 'em down when you get a popup that your buddy is nearby and ordering drinks.




You think people in the future will have experiences in the real world with other real humans. That their buddy isn’t a bot algorithmically refined to maximally connect with it’s user. And that the user can power down their ocular implant. How cute.
