It's time someone taught that poor man how to make chips! We’ve had “give a man a fish” and “teach a man to fish”, now we can add “teach a man how to look at fish”.

I am, after all, much more interested in the purple fish with green spots and the yellow fish with blue stripes than any other fish and I like the fact that they swim right up to me and I don't have to go chasing after them. I like the fact that the special goggles can also let me know about other fish I might be interested in that I didn't even know existed, based on the fish I already like. I also like how I can tweek the goggles to, for example, exclude the fish called Bob or automatically show the fish that I like to my friends. [Does that last para fit with the analogy?] Love it!
