No one tells you to stop working, mate. Just change your job.

Most of us are just addicted to it, so it becomes our habit to constantly check them. I delete the apps that aren't related to work to avoid procrastination, and I only check those social apps once I am free on my laptop.
Of course not. AI ain't smart enough to enslave us and lock us up in the Matrix yet. Not happening in my lifetime. I tell my kids and grandkids not to worry. Internet darling and all around good guy, the immortal Keanu Reeves, will save them when that day comes.😉
He’d find mine interesting but short, I was a conscientious objector when we still had national service here.
I understand that situation because I just left 2 high-paying jobs for a lower pay one until I resign and work on my own projects. Before that, I prepare by saving up after eliminating unnecessary expenses like paying that are not needed like installments for new devices, clothes, eating out, etc.
You can. I read an article a few months back where dumb phones are making a comeback just for that reason alone. It has experienced tremendous growth in the last 2-3 years.
Dumbphones Are Making a Comeback With Younger People Who Want to Disconnect | Tech360.tv
tech360tv | It is a familiar sound from days gone by. The Nokia ringtone was emblematic of an era where what are now called “dumbphones” was what people had. Smartphone makers, social media platforms and app developers aim to catch people’s attention by keeping their eyes on their phones...

Money is not really a problem, but getting a new job because of my age and physical abilities would be tough.
Being on call isn't so tough either...
I see, but it is always good to have a backup plan, so I suggest doing sth in your free time. If it works, you will get to say bye-bye to your terrible job.
My backup plan is to retire. <g>
Anyway, I never said my job was terrible, just that I was on call all the time. My job is actually pretty good.
It is not a backup plan, mate. You can't be sure that they won't fire you or making you resign out of frustration in the future. That's the reason I left my previous company.
Me retiring covers getting fired or resigning too. No company pension to worry about around here. Just 401K and my own savings.
yeah, nah. it wasn’t motorised wheels and a battery that had all the tech world beside itself when they got a preview (worst kept secret in silicon valley ever) it was the gyroscopic self-balancing engineering. less than 1% of e-mobility personal transport have gyroscopic balancing.

They are essentially the same thing, except AR has a transparent display and people expect it to be less bulky. How is that easier?
There's only so much you can improve on a roughly 12" rectangle. VR has a lot more room for advancement.
These are all pretty much the same thing (general purpose computer) with different input, screen sizes, and portability.
One interesting thing to me is that a VR headset could potentially replace a multi-monitor desktop setup, but have the portability of a MacBook. Paired with a keyboard, you can replicate the input functionality of a MacBook in addition to VR-exclusive input methods. Eye tracking could replace many mouse uses.

If you're using a VR headset to emulate a multi-monitor workstation, you aren't going to be swinging your arms around wildly. And almost all VR headsets will have a passthrough mode, so they are essentially AR headsets, and you can display your real surroundings around your virtual monitors.
The resolution of the Quest Pro—and probably the first Apple headset as well—won't be good enough that you'd want to do something like this for an extended period of time, but as the resolution and optics get better, and weight comes down, it will become a great option for many people, especially those who travel or just don't want to sit at the same desk all day.
I disagree. It was the fact of small mobile efficient transport for short distances which turned into the scooters we have everywhere.
Growing up, I recall people worrying about all the trash piling up around the world. One far-out concept was to design and build cheap rockets to send all that trash into the Sun. Notice lately that tech company billionaires are building rockets, e.g. Jeff Bezos? I wonder if Apple‘s next “one more thing” will be an
Rocket.
Why in the Hell would we throw perfectly good solid matter into the Sun? Then it's lost forever. Better to find somewhere to stash it and then figure out how to recycle it or reprocess it into something useful.Growing up, I recall people worrying about all the trash piling up around the world.

This is the only AR I ever cared about. Stinks they bailed out after only the first two games
