What is the device you want, but that does not exist? - eviltoast

I would love the child of a Surfacebook with a Framework laptop; or A bare keyboard attached to a screen, that I could plug my phone (possibly running Phosh) and use it as a hardware for a laptop experience

    A true virtual reality. Not goggles, but the kind that hooks up into your brain and consciousness. One that’s indistinguishable from real life. The kind where you can basically just live your entire life in some kind of a virtual multiplayer where quite literally anything is possible. You could be hooked up to an IV that feeds you optimal diet etc. go off the deep end if you want.

    I know how it might seem crazy to see something like that as a desirable thing, but I really think it would solve many of the issues in the world. I don’t think you’re “wasting your life” if you’re being happy in a virtual world, and I don’t see a reason why you couldn’t be happy there. You could have your own private world(s) and others would have theirs. There would be public worlds also with a ton of real people aswell as AI, and people could visit your worlds aswell if you let them. Just think about the possbilities. Why ruin the planet when you can have abundance in the virtualverse.

      That’s the plot of the Black Mirror episode San Junipero from season 3.

      Have you read Ready Player One? Cuz they more or less did that in the book. If not, I highly recommend it. The sequel isn’t quite as good, but was still fun.
