I’m continually struck by how my 15 yo son is tuned off by ubiquitous computing and the attention it requires 

I’m intrigued by lo-fi computing products like Daylight and techless / wisephone. But I’m somewhat skeptical that it can go mainstream 

I’m intrigued by products like the meta glasses which somewhat hide the digital interface and don’t require primary attention

i'm really excited about the meta raybans. i'm a WAU and can see myself using them more often with additional functionality

Interesting. What is “ubiquitous computing” to your son?

I’d argue this has been going on for a while with single use case tech products like Kindle, Whoop etc.
