That remains to be seen. It was just unveiled 10 hours ago, and nobody actually owns one (and and they won't until next year). We'll revisit this once it's actually been out in the real world for at least a couple of hours.

I'm failing to see how introducing another screen (full of icons, numbers, animations, actions, gestures, messages, information, etc.) into people's lives is somehow going to magically result in less bent-neck screen-gazing and general oblivitardation. But if I'm wrong on that, I'll have no problem copping to it!

I actually saw my first door hit three days ago...a girl walked smack-dab into the glass door at Walgreens (because it didn't open automatically fast enough and she was walking with her head looking down into her phone, and not even noticing/paying attention...and BAM!!) I thought I was gonna piss myself. She looked like she'd been shot with a potato gun, the look on her face.

"Nice goin', sweetpea...only about 10 or so people saw it".
