The post social age is not the age built after the age of social media, it’s the age built on top of social media.

Google Glass Team: 'Wearable Computing Will Be the Norm'
This is the one piece of tech most intruging to me right now. I think it will “kill” the tablet, at least the same way the tablet is killing the PC.
Wired: What was your thinking when you embarked on the project, and how did that thinking evolve?
Parviz: We did look at many, many different possibilities early on. One of the things that we looked at was very immersive AR [Augmented Reality] environments — how much that would allow people to do, how much could come between you and the physical world, and how much that can be distractive. Over time we really found that particular picture less and less compelling. As we used the device ourselves, what became more compelling to use was a type of technology that doesn’t come between you and the physical world. So you do what you normally do but when you want to access it, it’s immediately relevant — it can help you do something, it would help you connect to other people with images or video, or it would help you get a snippet of information very quickly. So we decided that having the technology out of the way is much, much more compelling than immersive AR, at least at this time.
