God, I hope this technology never catches on. It's scary to even think how the world (or, at least, the industrialized world) will be changed to become (even more) socially inept, and as a side effect, people becoming more and more depressed and anxious when they leave their little toy to go and interact with the real world (assuming people will ever leave their little headset.)

Eyesight will also get much worse. I won't be surprised, if this catches on, that all babies born at a certain point in the future will have to wear glasses. We will become so fragile, not just at the societal level, but even at the individual level. Terrifying.
