- roc 13y agoAnd speaking to a live person via cellphone, in many places and contexts, is still considered socially un-acceptable. And this hasn't changed all that much after a decade-plus of near-ubiquitous cell phone ownership. So I can't see how replacing the phone-and-person with wearable-and-computer-agent is going to see social change along any further/faster.

- forgottenpaswrd 13y agoIT IS. It is not about the thing in itself. It is about: "F*ck you, my computer is more interesting that you attitude" With a tablet or big phone you could integrate everything into a social context. You could search something socially for the entire group to benefit. Show pictures for the entire group. Whatever. Or you could look like a social retard that uses the computer to isolate herself.
