The very public VR typing may have been virtual, but the cringe was all too real
Like any public transport sytem in a big city, we’re sure New York‘s subway has seen at least its fair share of ‘interesting’ sights, but this one from 2024 stood out for many reasons.

Is it really safe to blinker yourself in a place known for muggings?
Is it anti-social to make yourself unaware of your fellow passengers’ needs?
Is this guy really working or just showing off because he can afford an Apple Vision Pro?

Bosses when they see this: "What do you mean you're not using Apple Vision in your ride home? You can rest when you're dead". I hope they don't invent something to make people work in their dreams as well.
