IMO if you remember two kids, rough ages, and their hobbies; you are probably far ahead of needing glasses to make it through the interaction gracefully.

I do agree with your main point, just not for this device. I think this device breaks expectations for socialization in a weird way.

But I am dismayed that it is a cloud device, I am dismayed by all cloud devices, and I am dismayed by people who happily buy it all. I don't know what I'm going to do next time I buy a car, for example.
