The big deal of the internet is it connects people. Before AI takes over the planet, or invasion of alien, the most powerful thing is the communication amongst human beings, its implication we have not fully explored.
Why not? The Reality Editor is an equivalent of a Web Browser for the Physical space. We are spatial oriented creatures operating the world around us with muscle memory and physical tools. The real power of technology comes when we combine digital and physical tools seamlessly. What is in front of us will change the World around you even more then the Internet has done it up to this point. How do you want to engage with all of the self driving cars and digital/physical content and objects around you? Browse through 1000 apps with all the drop down menus? Who wants to remember all of these physical<->digital links? My question for that future now is: What will be the digital equivalent of a screwdriver in that future? Thats what the Reality Editor is! A powerful tool.
I can understand where you come from, but honestly I don't have a 1000 app to deal with and I don't want to connect my office chair to my fancy car seat. I feel sad that the world is what it is today, and it's mostly because of people like you.
"What will be the digital equivalent of a screwdriver in that future? Thats what the Reality Editor is! A powerful tool."
But this is what makes us Humans! The development of tools. You would not be able to write these messages if not for all the tools build along our path. Simple physical tools like a screwdriver enable us to fix and create objects in the physical space. Throughout history we build new tools for every new development to the point that we where able to build the internet. There are many things that are not quite right with the internet today, maybe this is where your sadness comes from? But as long as we build tools to empower individual humans to expand their horizon, I think that it is worth to build and use new tools. The Reality Editor opens up a new category of tools, this is what makes it powerful. It is a power for your own hands to enable you, similar a screw driver did for generations before.
