The function of senses (sight, hearing, etc) is to connect people to reality. The senses inform you of reality, so that you can act accordingly. Being connected to reality is essential for survival, and a person deprived of the senses will not be able to keep himself alive.
And if technology has the same effect on humans, that it deprives them of their connection to reality, then the same principle will apply. People who get sucked into immersive technology will die off because they cut themselves off from the promptings of reality, whereas people who reject immersive technology will be safe since they operate according to reality.
