I think President Obama wanted to have the right fit for his different cabinet positions, and I believe that experience is what mattered most to him.

Oculus really started popularizing a new approach using cellphone screen technology, a wide field of view, and super-low-latency sensor tracking.

People who don’t have experience setting healthy boundaries, they have secrets instead. – Jill Soloway
