… I gotta wear augmented reality shades.
Anyone who has read Brin’s “Existence” (or a whole bunch of other sci-fi written since the 80’s) will recognize the world depicted here in “Hyper-Reality.” It looks… awful.
The trick is going to be how to deal with the overload. The internet has become swamped with ads and spam and malware; a highly interconnected augmented reality world will as well. The obvious answer will be the equivalents of adblockers and anti-spam/malware programs, but those lead to bloat and programs running slower and slower. The other answer will be to just take the glasses off/turn the implants off. But anyone who has seen a teenager glued to their phone knows that people who grow up with this sort of thing will become dependent upon it. So… dunno. The occasional random EMP burst, maybe?
