Episode notes

Xing Yi designed earrings that whisper into your ear while you're talking to someone. She used YouTube clips of an old Scottish man and put them in a code which can recreate any word coming through Google or Facebook. Lance is also working on something he calls the "photo stance" device, which would make it more difficult to take pictures.

Technology consultant Sarah Slocum loves social media and her Google Glass, she wears them everywhere. But when she walked into Molotov’s, a bar on Haight Street in San Francisco, she discovered that not everyone shares her love for wearable gadgets. Also, your host makes his annual pilgrimage to SXSWi and ends up designing wearables at a surreal Hack Day. We also hear from Shingy, AOL’s Digital Prophet. He says wearables will allow us to have it both ways: we can be both digital and human. **This episode features elements that were recorded binaurally. If you listen with a pair of headphones or a LiveAudio enabled JAMBOX, you will experience three dimensional sound – it will be like you are there.**
