Apple’s Vision Pro headset is a $3500 product designed to isolate you from your environment and strap a screen to your face so you’re constantly making money for tech companies.

When it launches next year, every rich early adopter who puts one on their face should be ridiculed. It’s not a vision for the future of computing we should accept.

Apple's Vision Pro headset deserves to be ridiculed

Tech companies want us isolated and constantly staring at screens because it drives profit

@parismarx "These kids and their walkmans! Unacceptable! Look at them, walking in public not even listening to what's around them!"

Panic and ridicule about new tech happens all the time.

Check back in a decade. You'll have been proven one of those Walkman deniers.

@parismarx Who needs a phone when they're out of the house?! Obnoxious rings interrupting everyone else, disrupting the people around them, not paying attention to others. Mobile phone users are an imorailty! Rude, with too much money and not enough sense!

The arguments stay the same, decade after decade. Especially for early adopter level when it's still expensive.
