Welcome to our latest podcast on Tech Talk, I'm Rui Cheng, I will be your host of this podcast about what the Apple Vision Pro has stirred up for our social media. Commuters in New York wearing these funky VR headsets are waving their hands in the air like they just don't care. They're grabbing, pinching, quenching air. It's a whole new kind of subway entertainment. We've all heard about VR, right? But Apple Vision Pro isn't just any VR, it's a game-changer, as Bob Cunningham put it. It's never the same once it bites into a new kind of forbidden fruit. This one is juicy. But what do our social connections need VR? Bob Cunningham has his sayings. But over the last decade, the percentage of people who want to go out on weekends has decreased. It's gone from 37% to 53% of the people would rather stay home. Virtual telepresence can help us reconnect with one another without forcing anyone to put on pants and go outside. Companies like Netta are making kinds of avatars, making our online interactions more immersive. Here's the Apple version of Avatar. You put on your headset and bump. You're at a concert with thousands of others, feeling every beat, or you're exploring the streets of Paris with friends from all around the globe. It's social media on steroids, breaking down barriers and creating experiences we only dreamed of. But hold on, it's not all rosy. With great tech comes great responsibilities. We're talking about a level of immersion that's so intense, it could make us forget about the real world. And privacy? That's a big Apple to bat into. We've got to be cautious about how much of ourselves we're sharing in these virtual spaces. So, as we wrap up, with Apple Vision Pro, we're stepping into a new era of social media. It's an exciting, uncharted territory filled with endless possibilities, eager to weigh in on its pros and cons. Join our podcast discussion and share your views.
