The idea that everyone is going to walk around outside constantly using a headset is not a version of reality that I ever think will happen.

There are enough people who like, enjoy breathing normal air and seeing plants.

Maybe if it becomes a brain implant at some point. I hope to be long gone before then.

This has been a big fear of mine since I started studying CS. Implants that are still not fully proven safe, but create a massive productivity gain. This might make the choice to get a sketchy implant or be unemployed.
