health insurance covers that well did

time machine you mean it's working again
well it was it exploded right after we
used it but we sent you a VHS tape of
the Jerry Springer Show just to tell you
we're thinking about you yeah even if I
wanted to watch that I have no idea

the hot news of the future well each of
the last 10 years has been hotter than
any previous year on record boring what

people won't shut up about are people
tired of Granny Smiths and red delicious
okay no you have apple in the 9s you
know what I'm talking about well there's
that computer company but I figure you
wouldn't be talking about them in the
future they're about to go bankrupt yeah
I mean they were about to in the late
'90s but then they get really good at
branding and now they're more powerful
than most governments oh my God yeah now
they have a computer you put right over
your eyeballs did a new study come out
saying it's okay to stare at screens up
close no uhoh so actually a company
called Google tried something similar in
2013 but everyone thought it looked
stupid so that didn't work out okay so
the new Apple one must look awesome no
actually they look like this oh my God
yeah that reaction makes sense what's so
special about this thing is it that it
doubles as ski goggles no this freaking
thing puts me in a virtual reality so I
can look at stuff that's not there like
what well for example right now I'm
looking at a little piggy nice but once
I turn on the device your face is gone
and I'm on Mars hey otherwise it creates
a way for people to do computer stuff
while they drive or operate heavy
machinery sounds kind of dangerous and
those hellish eyes are those your actual
eyes no so I have no idea where you're
actually looking you could be ogling my
body right now while ogling other bodies
on the internet that's right I can
really multitask my ogling now now this

like the boundaries between reality and
okay can you not point at me like that
I'm actually typing this is how you type
with this thing oh you crab type no this
isn't crab related at all unless I'm
typing the word crab which I am I think
we could all agree that movement
deserves a crab related name actually
that cute folksy view of Technology we
had back in the '90s has been kind of
replaced by a fear of AI murders those
eyes do look like something you see
right before you die speaking of which
I'm currently looking at an artist
rendering of how you die in 2004 what
yeah they really got the splintering
bone part down what do you mean but
anyway people are saying this could
really transform our lives forever but
mark my words it'll come at a cost you
mean like total loss of social
interaction or neck posture no I mean it
cost
$3,000 what yeah that was people's
reaction when Apple announced it too so
only the extremely wealthy are going to
wear this yeah but when they do they'll
be very easy to steal well how'd you get
