The last few major purchases I made with my relatively plentiful disposable income: A pair of Doc Martens, two plane tickets to Kenya, yearly membership fee to my concierge medical clinic. None of these could be replaced by this technology. Arguably, I could make it look like I'm wearing new shoes when look down, and I could load up "Kenya" mode on my Holographic Goggles -- but nothing will replace the feel and protection of good shoes, or replicate the smells, tastes, and adventure of actual travel. Also, I still own an iPhone 5 and don't have a particularly fancy TV... Your same argument has been made (to a greater or lesser degree) with the advent of the industrial revolution, the Internet, cheap processors, 3D printers. There is no technology that will make wealth obsolete. |
