Agree on all that. In addition, headsets would become so very unhealthy if they took off. Just imagine the addictiveness of phones combined with the sedentary qualities of TV, with both dialed up to 11. People's vision would get all fucked up, and they would start dying on their couches plugged in. It’s simply not a vision for the future that has any legs.
