People don’t want to lug a computer with
them to the beach or on a train to while away
hours they would rather spend reading the
sports or business section of the newspaper.
Somehow, the microcomputer industry has
assumed that everyone would love to have a
keyboard grafted on as an extension of their
fingers. It just is not so …

The truth [is] no online database will replace your
daily newspaper, no CD-ROM can take the place
of a competent teacher and no computer network
will change the way government works.

Yet Nicholas Negroponte, director of the MIT
Media Lab, predicts that we’ll soon buy books and
newspapers straight over the Internet. Uh, sure.

“[Television] won’t be able to
hold on to any market it captures
after the first six months. People
will soon get tired of staring at a
plywood box every night.”

I in no way think that VR is
going to be like 3DTV. It’s

you see so much investment
from all of the major players

“I just tried HTC’s virtual reality
headset Vive, and I’m certain
we’re on the precipice of a major
change in computing. This is
going to change the world as we
know it. Really.”

It’s expected that 24 months from now,
we’ll have a much better understanding
of the four or five key use cases around
how and why consumers will use VR,
versus what they do on their phones,
iPads, TVs, and everything else.
