Comment on Ask HN: Why Is the Internet Boring?

Hmm... What if there was a better way of indexing across multiple media types? Then we could have a "down the audio-visual rabbit hole" experience via info clusters in a format such as an RSS feed. We could have AI glasses that use eye-tracking and haptic gloves to select AV content. And this would allow us to be anywhere while taking in info, instead of glued to a physical computer monitor.

For me, there's the part of learning that is interpersonal. Shared excitement about learning a topic with and from others within reasonably close physical proximity does have benefits. I guess holograms and VR are supposed to supplement this, though I'm unsure a cartoonized avatar is a sufficient replacement.
