Google boss Sergey Brin: using a smartphone is 'emasculating'
Mr Brin made the comment when he was talking to the Technology, Education and Design (TED) conference in Los Angeles about the future of Google.
He was telling the audience ab...out Google Glass, the web giant's augmented reality spectacles.
Containing a battery, a tiny computer running, a camera and wireless link, the glasses work as a “heads up display”, with the intention that they will be used to access the web and communicate.
Talking about the way people walk around hunched over their smartphones, he said: “Is this the way you’re meant to interact with other people? It’s kind of emasculating. Is this what you’re meant to do with your body?”
The cell phone is a nervous habit — If I smoked, I’d probably smoke instead, It’d look cooler. But I whip this out and look as if I have something important to do. It really opened my eyes to how much of my life I spent secluding myself away in email.”
His comments drew immediate derision from bloggers, especially in light of how much Google has invested in its Android mobile phone operating system.
