Transcript

I totally get the use of an accelerometer or whatever in a watch or in a band that you wear on your wrist for a workout and I think that that's valuable all of that stuff make super sense for you as an individual but that's not an experience where you're engaging with it to replace some other social interaction that's just you getting utility as you live your life what I'm saying is the idea that you start to rely on a device as your interface into the world I would take the exact other side of the BET which is I think that humans are getting so sick and tired of only communicating in these rigid ways if you look at our children's

generation they don't know how to make eye contact they don't know how to talk and I think it's going to come back and bite them in the and so I think the pendulum is going to swing in the other direction where it's like okay enough of this stuff let's actually look each other in the eye and talk to each other the way that humans were meant to be and I think that in that devices like a glucose monitor or a band has value but I don't think it's going to be this interface where you're sign languaging it while you're at Coachella I think you're going to rip the devices off and actually be a Coachella without any devices
