Mark Zuckerberg: We want to get 1B people in virtual reality

I think it's a mistake. AR makes more sense.

Quote: 'Tim Cook called it a "core technology," saying that he expects it to be a big technology, bigger than VR, in the future. "Virtual reality sort of encloses and immerses the person into an experience that can be really cool," Cook said, "but probably has a lower commercial interest over time. Less people will be interested in that."'

The question I ask myself: Is there enough trust left? Just when reading this goal, I experience a high level of aversion against Facebook wanting to be the company doing that. Maybe this sentiment blows over, or it is only me (and presumably some others in the HN community). But somehow I actually do hope that more people will be critical of anything Facebook does from here on. In the end, Zuckerberg, as smart as he is, still is as clueless as anyone else about the impact anything he does has on society, as well as about unintended consequences. Previously I kinda gave him the benefit of the doubt ("Maybe he really knows what he is doing"). Now I am not sure anymore.
