Don't give them any ideas. lol Otherwise, cable boxes around the world are likely to receive a firmware update that blocks you from changing channels during commercials.
All future displays will have built in cameras that start dimming and turn off the screen if it notices you aren't paying attention. They'll say it is a power saving feature, but not put in an option to disable it.
This kinda already exists. There's that smart tv you can get for free by agreeing to built-in ads via a display underneath the main one or something. LTT discussed it recently; I think I saw a WAN show clip about it.
Edit: Found the clip I was thinking of, this goes into decent detail on this.
That's creepy.
We officially live in a Cyberpunk dystopia, and I am 100% here for it. Ride the synthwave, choom.
When it comes in exchange for rocket legs I will concede.
That's fair, I'll give you that. Only 80s cyberdeck/Hackers-style dystopia is currently available, and I'm okay with that. More will come, and I'm kind of a retro-head anyway. By the by, I updated my OG comment with a link to the clip I was talking about. Check it out and be horrified!
I at least need flying cars and more neon if I can't have my rocket legs. At the very least real hover boards.
