The Cure for Fewer Devices
00:00:00.000 | I totally get the use of an accelerometer, whatever in a watch or in a band that you
00:00:04.440 | wear on your wrist for a workout.
00:00:06.080 | And I think that that's valuable.
00:00:07.400 | All of that stuff makes super sense for you as an individual.
00:00:09.960 | But that's not an experience where you're engaging with it to replace some other social
00:00:14.120 | interaction.
00:00:15.120 | That's just you getting utility as you live your life.
00:00:16.860 | What I'm saying is the idea that you start to rely on a device as your interface into
00:00:21.560 | the world, I would take the exact other side of the bat, which is I think that humans are
00:00:25.800 | getting so sick and tired of only communicating in these very rigid ways.
00:00:31.440 | If you look at our children's generation, they don't know how to make eye contact, they
00:00:34.980 | don't know how to talk.
00:00:35.980 | And I think it's going to come back and bite them in the ass.
00:00:38.380 | And so I think the pendulum is going to swing in the other direction where it's like, OK,
00:00:41.720 | enough of this stuff.
00:00:42.920 | Let's actually look each other in the eye and talk to each other the way that humans
00:00:46.180 | were meant to be.
00:00:47.180 | And I think that in that devices like a glucose monitor or a band has value.
00:00:51.480 | But I don't think it's going to be this interface where you're sign languaging it while you're
00:00:55.180 | at Coachella. I think you're going to rip the devices off and actually be at Coachella without
