Why Silicon Valley is all wrong about Apple’s AirPods

Ear fucking is overrated. I walked around 10 years ago with a Bluetooth earpiece hanging out of me like a dork and after 6 months I quit. Nothing says “I will never be able to devote my full attention to you and btw, my ego is always driving” better. I don’t care how sexy Airpods are supposed to be — they aren’t. Wearing a device that distracts you 24/7 is the opposite of sexy. Attention and being present is sexy. As my once 3-year old daughter said to me about school… “I not going.” Apple is a pusher and I’m not looking for any more things to get addicted to at the expense of my human relationships.
