I'm bullish. It's expensive but 10-100x more natural a form factor than a normal computer.
At one point computers having screens and then mice were "going nowhere" and were "annoying," but it doesn't matter how annoying they are in a vacuum. All that matters is the alternatives were much worse.
I hope time spent on screens for work and leisure in general is disincentivized
That trend is accelerating rather than reversing.

Palmer Lucky is bullish on the tech which makes me bullish.
Not sure I see too many uses cases for myself in the near future but every time I have a stroke or ALS patient who can’t pick up a remote to change the channel I hope some tech like this or Neuralink develops faster to help them with what must be immense boredom.

You see it accelerating among people who have adopted bitcoin as unit of account? Really? I see the opposite so far—screen avoidance. Of course this could be plainly a matter of wealth, but I wonder how time horizon extension will affect this societally.

That’s what I see people post on twitter and nostr too.
Nearly everyone I know is on screens most of the day. They’re all plebs trying to make it though.

Screen time measuring features on phones are scary.. I try not to look. But sometimes my phone will congratulate me for inadvertently bringing my average screen time from something absolutely absurd to something just slightly less absurd.
