I remember those days. Except back then you had the added challenge of finding space for it on your 1.2GB hard drive

I agree that the tech isn't there, but unless we figure out some new physics it's going to be impossible to put enough battery, computing power, and cooling capacity in something the size of sunglasses. So the tech for VR like we really want is at least 20 years away, if not more.

I love how marketing people are so abnormal that they need tips on not sounding like a bot.

The US government has always cared more about national security than the privacy of its citizens.

One of the rules of branding is to choose a unique name to prevent confusion. Half the time I see the X logo I don't know if they're talking about X11 or the website formerly known as Twitter

I really love being alone so it worked great for me. I hardly left my property and had so much upkeep to perform that I got in great shape.

But if you're a person who likes people and needs human interaction I wouldn't recommend it. Unless you really like Zoom calls.

When I lived in the boonies I had a house like that. It was on a windy mountain road that was rarely traveled except on Sundays when people would drive their classic cars around. I could sit there with a beer after mowing my lawn and have my own private parade, and walk the couple miles into town no problem.

For work I just had to walk down the hall because shipping my brain through meatspace to push buttons in a different place is stupid.
