EP#25 - Virtual Reality, Augmented Reality, and Reddit's Unpopular Opinions

from Twenty Somethings · host Sound Pollination

On this week's Layovers episode, Grant and Keith discuss the rapidly up-and-coming world of Virtual and Augmented Reality. It seems like just yesterday we were experimenting with the idea of this through the clunky TV Remote handle of the Nintendo Wii. Now we can sit courtside to our favorite NBA games with the don of a futuristic cowl. What a crazy world we live in, right? What does this mean for the future of our species? What will it mean for our kids, and how will they grow up? Will we end up living forever through the means of a virtual world? SO MANY QUESTIONS! We have no answers. On this week's episode, Keith and Grant introduce a new segment (finally, some structure, we get it) where we dissect the latest and greatest of the ever popular Reddit thread; Unpopular Opinions. This segment is a lot of fun to tune into live, so make sure to catch us on our next episode!
