Was the Google Glass gal at the beginning supposed to be satire and none of us 'got' it?

this is so hilarious - great quirky look at the tech community

this whole conversation sounds incredibly scripted. i'm disappointed.

ugh. i feel trolled. thanks a lot benjamen. still (obviously) unamused.

This week we freak out about the future of wearable technology! (http://bit.ly/1hg4h7Q)

Technology consultant Sarah Slocum loves social media and her Google Glass, she wears them everywhere. But when she walked into Molotov's, a bar on Haight Street in San Francisco, she discovered that not everyone shares her love for wearable tech.

Also, your host makes his annual pilgrimage to SXSWi and ends up designing wearables at a surreal Hack Day. We also hear from Shingy, AOL's Digital Prophet. He believes wearables will allow us to have it both ways: we can be both digital and human.
