Are we moving towards a world where people walk around with video cameras strapped to their heads to broadcast for all? While elements of such a world might be cool, it seems a little too 1984 for my likes.

I find it interesting that people would choose to forgo organic real life experiences in favor of these augmented tech mash-ups. If I'm on the beach, I want to breath in the crisp air, feel the warmth of the sun, touch grains of sand, hear birds singing, and see the ocean waves wash ashore. I don't want to have my face stuck to the god damned igadget to see a pic someone else took of the same damn thing I can see with my own eyes.

To others, the matrix awaits.

Maybe less 1984, more _Mathematicians in Love_.
