This is such a pedestrian take. If you don't want HYPER-REALITY to predicted the future you don't have to.

The same people who say don't buy AR glasses because they will turn your whole world into the internet, are the same people MAKING that happen.

You don't want your phone to be out all the time? Build the infostructure for labeling priority notifications, and allowing them permanent access to your field of vision also allows you to hide the phone and low priority communications almost all the time.

Email used to be really disruptive to my focus, everyone expected fast response. Slack didn't just add to our disruptions, for many of us it allowed us to drastically scale back the time spent on lower priority communication like email.
