Om Malik (https://om.co/2023/12/14/why-vision-pro-will-change-photogra...) wants us all to believe that family movie nights will be with everyone sitting in the couch all watching on their Vision Pros.

He sees it as an existential threat to the movie theater.

How do you share popcorn on the couch all plugged in?

And that’s after your average American home with its 2.2 children lay out $14,000+ for their Apple tax.

Sorry, Om, I’m not seeing that.

Did you just make that up? That article doesn't say any such thing

I don't see anything about family movie nights in that article, but there is a way private viewing is good for families - it doesn't hog the TV! Only one person can use a TV at once.

> Or just having a cable car approaching slowly closer to me.

I just took a spatial video of a mountain cable car if anyone wants it. Is it emotional? I dunno, I don't have a way to watch it.

Nothing prevents people from watching tv together. Back in the twentieth century, families bonded by doing that. So, I’m not sure that’s good for families.

You don't always want to do that. I don't think the whole family wants to watch one kid playing video games on it.
