Thanks, Jason, for the link. Live, I agree with you that Andy seems suspiciously bitter.
When you get past the gratuitous insults and over-the-top rage, the cell-phone-while-driving analogy is actually pretty interesting. I don't agree with Andy that taking in extra information always makes us swerve, the way we do in a car when we're using a cell phone. But it does raise interesting questions about how people would best interface with this information. Projection may work for some things, but what if you didn't want the other person you're meeting to know that you're researching them? Could this information fit more seamlessly into the interaction if you were getting it in an earbud, for example? Or would that interfere too much with the real-world conversation with this new friend? Humans can process and use this information without swerving; we just need to find the best delivery mechanism. Neat stuff to think about. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
