What's more, it's not just visual traits either. No, I suspect a lot of people feel an American accent is the 'norm' now as well, in part due to how much popular media originates in the US (and how many internet influencers seem to be from there).
And there are definitely quite a few stories of people assuming their own country/culture works like the US/Europe/wherever based on what media they watch and who they follow online.
Could be interesting to see a study about this stuff.
Well someday they will have to look around them and see people with wrinkles... in real life.. unless they are too hooked to their phones to even realize this.
Yeah it’s called “getting old” and one of the beauties of it is not caring for what others think about you or needing that acceptance feeling.
Why bother with only "fixing" certain things about your looks, whereas you can look like something/someone completely different? With AR advanced enough, I believe we will get to the point of multiple "realities" overlaid on top of the real one, which opens doors for so many interesting possibilities and applications. Don't like that pesky skyscraper blocking view of the lake from your apt? Luckily, there is a reality server you can subscribe to that has it removed. Or another reality server that acts like ad-block for real life.
When the AR tech matures and gets in the hands of an average person, I expect life to change in such a crazy way, that changes brought by wide smartphone adoption will look like a tiny blip in comparison.
I'm assuming here that "natural" is a result of what you (and I, since I feel similarly) are just used to.
