Wanna bet? In 50 years 1 billion or more will be using something like the vision pro.

The visual exp will b better.

The idea that this can even be something you'd reasonably have a bet on demonstrates his point. It's not a surefire thing that this will be a better experience than just using a laptop or desktop for most people.

Going back to the original analogy, while you could argue about the iphone in terms of price maybe, it was undeniable that it was flat out better than a feature phone in every possible way.

I have no idea what will be happening in 50 years. I'm not taking that bet.

But if your prediction is correct, then I think we'll have some better use cases than looking at fake screens. That's my bet.

Lol ppl are using paper after centuries. Screens r da digital equivalent to paper workstation.

Better visual exp is worth it alone. It doesn’t need 2 b better than that.

All useful perceived vision will b 2D plane. Stone tablet, paper workstation, crt monitor, lcd, vr. All showing 2d planes

You keep saying "better visual experience". What's alleged to be better about it? I watched the short promo video, and didn't catch anything about that.

The reason why I would prefer to use a real screen is that I (imagine) the visual experience to be better. At least we agree about the reason.
