I don't love it either but it seems inevitable unless it turns out to be impossible to make AR/VR glasses that are svelte enough for people to actually wear in public, and I wouldn't bet against it—I expect most of us in 1995 didn't believe we'd have many-core computers with gigabytes of ram and disk and with near-zero-latency touchscreens and all-day+ (for typical use, at least) battery life in devices with about the same volume as a cigarette packet, just ~12 years later.
Otherwise, the future of at least "consumer" computing is surely computer-as-overlay/HUD-on-reality, very likely with a side of being able to toggle totally virtual environments on and off at will ("Siri, take me to my office") which is what I meant by the computer being everywhere, rather than just having Internet access everywhere. Unless we crack some kind of really good brain/computer interface before we solve the VR-goggles-suck problem, which I doubt, but who knows.
