I feel like the future would declare monitors to be old technology. And everyone will migrate to eye mount displays.

That’s kind of my dream for programming actually.

A belt-mounted split keyboard on my thighs, and limitless screen space in a serene setting provided by VR. Won’t need a standing desk at all!

Sounds dystopic to me. I don’t always look at the display when typing. Having no way to look away is visual prison to me.

This makes the advertisers happy.

Nowadays you can have a floating display in AR that stays in the same spot, as if it’s a physically grounded monitor. You can look away and it stays where it is.
