Really interesting.
A lot of points make me feel totally out of touch with the world though, I haven't at all bothered with smartphones and tablets nor do I realy want to.
Thanks for sharing this.

Oh I really like this, it's super interesting.
Some parts also sounds super cyberpunk.

Going by the introduction, the project seems very intriguing. It makes you wonder what kind of behaviours will develop with the emergence of virtual and augmented-reality technologies. It would also be interesting to view how technology has altered our manner of speech.
Thanks for sharing.

I know what you mean. I don't intend on upgrading from my flip phone and half the time I don't even have it with me.

I wonder if I am missing out on something or free of an addiction to connection or both.

I think I'm gonna start sleeping with my phone in another room.

Odd how unnerving it is to have your behaviors outlined.
