In an excellent interview posted on MIT’s Technology Review, Anthropologist Genevieve Bell questions if society is ready for the new wearable computing devices such as Google’s Glass and Samsung’s Galaxy Gear. Her arguments focus on the intersection of the functional and the symbolic, and she takes the position that at this still nascent stage in wearables development our society still hasn’t “liberated ourselves to take advantage of all the really interesting technical stuff”.
