Episode notes

No selfies. You have to get someone, you have to hand your phone to somebody else if you want to picture yourself. In the culture where people check their phones every six seconds and we see something like 9,800 media messages per day, maybe it's not such a bad idea. I'd be willing to look into putting a weight on your, on your camera.

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.**
