“The visual, two-dimensional medium of TV and film are still the easiest and cheapest way to sell a story or share your vision with the world.

“There’s a reason the cable companies still exist: people are too lazy to hunt and kill their own content and, more important, the passive medium of television allows for maximum consumption with a minimum of effort.”

“Remember: to be truly ubiquitous a technology has to ruin our lives.

“The cellphone didn’t become ubiquitous until everyone around you saw the need to own a glowing slab of black metal.

“The Internet didn’t take off until everyone around you saw the need to play Farmville until they died.

“The television didn’t take off until everyone in the world realized it was infinitely better than reading.

“As it stands VR won’t ruin our lives. Instead it will just mildly amuse us until something better comes along.”
