Sergey Brin seems to be popping up everywhere.
He made a surprise appearance at the TED Conference yesterday, talking about Google Glass and mobile:
Brin began the talk by looking down at his phone, and commenting that, like many, this is how he spends most of his time. “We often question if this is the way you want to connect with the people in your life,” Brin said. “I feel it’s kind of emasculating. You’re just rubbing this featureless piece of glass.”
While some may complain that we’re taking cool advice from a guy who wears Crocs, I don’t think Sergey’s wrong. Just count how many times you’re out with friends and have a split second of down-time. Chances are you instinctively reach for your phone.
