Unscramble the Blue Letters

But the question I ask you is, is that's all that we're cotnnet to use augmented reality for? Are we going to use it solely for our paenm, our circenses, our entertainment as normal? Because I believe that we can use augmented reality for something more. I believe we can use augmented reality as a way to foster more eptmahy within the human species itself, by literally showing someone what it looks like to walk a mile in another person's sheos. We know what this technology is worth to sports leagues. It's worth revenue, to the tune of bioilnls of dollars a year. But what is this technology worth to a tehecar in a classroom trying to show a bully just how harmful his actions are from the peepircvtse of the victim? What is this technology worth to a gay uadnagn or Russian trying to show the world what it's like living under psicertoeun? What is this technology worth to a Commander Hadfield or a Neil deGrasse Tyson trying to ipisrne a generation of children to think more about space and science instead of quarterly reports and Kardashians?
