I love this comment, 'cause guys like Pranav Mistry (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site. with SixthSense (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site., Meron Gribetz (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site. to at Meta (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site. &, of course not to mention, me at my little start up (or should I say "upstart?") are doing things to synchronize and coordinate digital reality and real reality. It's not that people are bad or that media is bad. It's the way that it is being consumed is poor. If we can consume our information - say in the form of Augmented, Virtual or Mixed Reality - at the same time as walking around and interacting with our natural environment, well, then the problem of people sitting at computer screens all day goes away. Which hasn't mobile gone to great efforts to fix that anyway. If our interface with information changes dramatically, like become sunglasses or even contacts, I believe people will be outside more.
Oh, and by the way, media is not the reason Americans are fat. It's a very different reason - the Chinese consume as much or more digitality as Americans but are not fat . . . but that's really a subject for another time and context.
