I thought it was funny


I thought it was funny when that guy went into VR to check the files on Jobe. Then Jobe cames out of the folder and said "Well you're awlfully noesy" and then he pulled out a sword and touched the guys head and electrocuted him.

I think that if Jaron Lanier ever saw that scene, he got real mad. First, they show this guy operating a keyboard in virtual reality, while, according to Jaron Lanier, the whole point of virtual reality was to avoid the use of "innatural" interfaces like a keyboard. Then, when Jobe electrocutes the guy with his sword, you see that he's actually electrocuted by sparks coming out of his glasses. And there I could imagine Jaron Lanier thinking: "So, who is the douchebag who built VR goggles with a high-voltage terminal?"
