Second Life: 2003. World of Warcraft: 2001. Besides which, one was envisioned as a game, the other as a social platform. That's like saying a car is like a parade float that doesn't suck.

The Newton was never intended as anything but a business organizer. Comparing it to an iPad simply illustrates your ignorance of the platform.

MY point is that VR isn't "a handful" of failed executions of an idea. MY point is that a whole bunch of clever people have been devoting their lives to it for decades and its adoption is no higher now than it was when Reagan was president. Kind of how MY point is that 3d printing has been around for over 15 years and the reason it hasn't set the world afire is that nobody really wants it.
