Comments on: Our World - Through The Looking Glass Of Augmented Reality http://www.millsworks.net/blog/2010/01/22/our-world-through-the-looking-glass-of-augmented-reality/ I fucked up my blog - now it looks like this.

That future though scares the crap oit of me. Its's like an extrapolation of the bloatware software trend. Reminds me of that animated paper clip that pops up in MS Word and tells me I'm trying to write a letter. Does anyone see that paper clip and go, "Wow, that's handy!" Now if I have to defuse a bomb, bring on the helpful pop-ups windows (sponsored by Met Life Insurance) but leave my tea alone! Don’t get me wrong, Keiichi your video is amazing.

We'll all have the ability to tone down or ramp up our individual experiences and participation in this shit. You want monster claws? Go right ahead, bub. You want to ditch the adverts? Sure - if you pony up for the ad-free version of the apps involved. Me? I'm going open source. :) Keiichi - happy to have found it on Sterling's blog. Great stuff. And "Best regards" isn't too formal - it just makes me look like the slob I am. :) cheers Kit - I don’t see it as grim at all.

And if something is gonna render my own hands and arms for me, I'd better have some cool ass monster talons or something. But maybe at that point our our actual hands and arms will be so atrophied that those representations would be appealingly different.
