I told my dad that I had demoed the #AppleVisionPro  yesterday. He asked me, "But will it make life better?" I had to really think about that for a minute. I replied, "Only if it facilitates a better quality of life." If this tech gives both a measurable increase in my quality of work output and a decrease in the time it takes me to do it, AND if I *re-capture* that time savings and intentionally invest it in quality of life (family, exercise, hobbies, etc), then it will help make life better. 

The problem, of course, is that the same thing could be said about laptops and smartphones. But instead of re-investing re-captured time capital into family etc, I'm going to speculate that most people re-deploy that capital back into work, or solo entertainment (doom scrolling, random videos, porn, etc).

My guess is that within 5 years smartphones will be mostly obsolete and we all will be wearing a smaller, discreet product, either glasses, goggles, or contact lenses. People will be looking at you, but not seeing you; moving their fingers, but not touching anything real. And it will all be normal.
