Honestly, it sounds like a great way to further expand mass surveillance, advertising empires, compliance, and over reliance on technology that ultimately further removes us from our humanity.
“Oh those young people these days can’t even use their eyes anymore and all rely on those ocular patches to ingest any kind of view of the world. In my day we would stare up at the sun just to strengthen our eyes!
