    Great. They have an app for reality now. Must get some.
  • App is such an ugly word. Makes me cringe.

    Exactly. Me too.

    I did not get the part about "From now on you will use your spatial coordination and muscle memory to easily operate ....[whatever]"

    For future, or indeed current, generations who never have to move anything but their thumbs on a touch screen, what frikken "spatial coordination" are the going to have?

    Gets worse when they become just gelatinous blobs in a tank of nutrients with a wireless connection.

    Sounds like how humans have been operating things for all of history.

    Yes, yes, you missed my next part about "couch potatoes" and "blobs in tanks" who won't have any spatial awareness, having never moved in space, and no "muscle memory" having never used any muscles.

    Gee wiz, heater, you make it sound like a bad thing...

    Will that nutrient tank have whiskey in it?

  • Soon we'll be able to download our 'essence' into an 'app' and go to sleep forever, and let the app live our lives for us!
    Enough already

  • Looks like a front end extension of IoT, I just wonder if they bothered to include security otherwise you'll have folks hacking into everything.

    That said, I can't stand the ad-copy talk, because it looks like they are trying to sell the idea to suit types.
