Current stats are that 50% of Americans aged 30-49 have a social media addiction.

Under 29 who knows but obviously higher.

You can't expect a coke head to not snort the whole bag. We just don't believe social media addiction is like a coke addiction. This isn't going to just get better either. What are the kids that grew up watching tiktok as a first memory all of the sudden going to become ludite hippies in 15 years?

I even had the thought that maybe generation alpha would be reactionary against all this. Looking that up, holy shit is that wrong.

The amount of robberies is going to skyrocket... I would suspect that Apple will have to implement some sort of "50% translucency requirement for on-screen windows" so that using the Vision Pro in public places will not prevent people from being aware of their central vision & surroundings.

I don't personally carry a cell phone with me in day-to-day life, so I am already well aware of how addictive technology is for young & old [and am myself about half way along the journey].

The first person to get injured because the VisionPro screens suddenly freeze/blank is going to make global news. RIP.

At least the googles could probably record the robbery in spatial video. Maybe it could upload to the cops who would probably ignore it.
