The acceleration of everyday life: a plea for deceleration in the digital era In the new millennium, our lives have accelerated at a breathtaking pace. The introduction of the smartphone was a turning point in this development. We live in a world in which information, communication and entertainment are available in real time. The boundaries between work and leisure are blurring and the internet demands constant attention. I remember a time when reading the news was a morning ritual with the newspaper and replying to emails was limited to late morning or early evening. Today, with our smartphones, we are constantly 'online' and 'available'. It is as if we have collectively embarked on a race without knowing where it will lead or when it will end. This fast pace of life has left its mark. It manifests itself not only in the increasing number of people suffering from burnout, but also in our changed behavior and perceptions. We are experiencing an increasing inner emptiness that is often drowned out by the noise of the digital world. What does this mean for us as a society? In the long term, we are carrying the burden of a never-ending pace that is taking its toll on our mental and physical state. How many great ideas have been washed away by the flood of emails and notifications? How many times have we missed the moment because we were too busy looking at it through the lens of our camera to share it on social media? We need to learn to allow ourselves times of calm. Times when we put our smartphone aside and allow ourselves to just 'be'. By taking conscious breaks from constant connectivity, we create space for creativity, reflection and genuine connection. The pace of the internet since the 2000s has irrevocably changed the way we live and work. But it is up to us how we deal with these changes. Let's pause and look at the big picture. Technology is a tool that serves us, not a master that we should serve. By taking time - time to enjoy nature, time to be with our loved ones, and time to maintain our own inner calm - we can find a balance that we so often lack in today's hyper-connected world. And this is where the AI Pin can help us. This makes smartphones a thing of the past, less distraction, more life, finally. 😊

I see the opposite but flaws in both. I don't see this glorified AI pager being accepted in work environments at all. A restaurant server, hairdresser, physical therapist all benefit greatly from a smart watch. I see the voice interactivity being a purely negative bottleneck that most news stations with imari on it, has also not been convinced of. They grill him on how they're not sold on the device by any means whatsoever and he has very diplomatic useless answers to combat their objections.

[@simplyanswered3776]

Great thoughts. A weakness in the analysis is comparing it to a phone. This product will do well for its niche. My only worry is that it ends up like Clubhouse.

Apple will never speed up innovation. Their history shows us that very clearly. They release something to us that has been on most android devices for years and they market it as new.

Too bad our smartphones are still extremely BAD at understanding us. Even nuetral english speakers. Samsung's new AI integrated into their new Galaxy showcases how pitiful the translation AI is. No way the AI Pin, can detect different accents and dialects BETTER than any current phone out there. The phone's can't do it. How can this device? Will also have to be in a completely quiet environment in order to understand both parties, what if multiple people are speaking at the same time? The technology exists but it's shown us, that it's not practical. If Google, Apple, Samsung, Amazon (Alexa), MIcrosoft (Cortana), all suck so bad that each voice-assistant department has quite literally lost BILLIONS and these are TRILLION dollar companies with basically endless resources, what makes any consumer convinced that this brand new product with a measly quarter billion in funding (compared to trillions) can make transcription/translation tech anymore practical?

[@SolAya21]

Idk some of the criticisms you mentioned seem a bit confusing to me. The purpose of this device is to reduce the amount of time staring at and being on our phones. To me some of the criticisms you mentioned go directly against the ethos of the product itself. So if you are somewhere you can't have a one on one conversation with your friend who is not there then you probably should just sit there and be present in the space. Or the navigation thing you know people back then used to get around without any directions they just learned the area around them. Also yeah it would be absurd to look at your palm while walking down the street. Which is why you shouldn't do that and the device doesn't encourage it by trying to keep you on there obsessively. The price thing is the most valid one though tbh it's way too pricey for what it is.

[@JoshuaChang]

Those are valid points about living in the moment (whether it be on public transport, a meeting, or a classroom), and not feeling the need to text somebody unless it were truly an emergency. The navigation part is still tough for me but I’d imagine if they somehow made a “CarPlay” equivalent, it may solve that problem. Video calls… idk. Holograms? 😂 (jk) I think the hardest part of all of this is re-wiring our minds to envision what a world without a smartphone would look like. We’ve grown accustomed to our habits over the past decade and this is going against everything we’ve learned. If this were to hit mainstream adoption though, it would seriously impact tons of businesses. Apple, Facebook, Google, KZbin, Instagram, TikTok. Wild to think about, that’s for sure, especially as my job revolves around social media.

[@RS-mb6nn]

Honestly, I think this device is super awesome. I've been bored of staring at these bright little screens all the time (for many years), & I think it isn't healthy either. I'm also not sure screens next to our eyes all the time is going to be the answer either (i.e. smart glasses/VR/AR).

[@mattburris257]

I feel like this is exactly what is needed. Humans to be connected with one another again and not their screens. This has the potential to recalibrate humanity back to being connected with each other and not just social media friends. I think I might get one.

[@ObliviousWillow]

To to that you don't need to spend 700$ plus monthly fee on a info-snatching gizmo. Just put on some trainers and go, join a book club, try therapy, cut off 10 minutes of screen time every day. They are giving you a problem and make you pay extra for introducing another one in your life (a.i. interaction for social use is the opposite of "humane" not to talk about privacy concerns and having a pricy tool hanging from your jacket)

[@martinpavlicek2299]

1) It needs to pair with a phone or smartwatch or glasses or lenses to be practical for everyday user. It cant be replacment but it can work with it. 2) Also using AI all the time instead of being able to access apps directly is also stupid. It is nice you can use voice and AI but stupid that you have to. 3) It could be good for vision impared and blind people and for translating conversation in real time including sign language. 4) Like any wereable with camera, it is going to pose challenges with privateness. 5) Smart glasses would make this device redundant but smart contact lenses would have to depend on simmilar device or necklace. 6) You could loose it when running. You would either need a special pocket for it or it becoming necklace. 7) It reminds me of pager

All spot-on points. I don't think the founders realized that they just made an updated pager. If this were a company-assigned device, where you could tie it's usability to like, say a hospital, and doctor's could use it with their database/patients, then I could maybe see some use case there? But, not gonna happen, they want wide adoption, and this device has failed on several fronts. It's pretty bad when a company that's received $240,000,000 in funding, can have a couple of KZbinr's and Commentors completely derail the product with a few minor objections and observations lol.

[@darkmattterr]

completely agree with your take. i wanna get one just to try out the live translate at work just cause that use case specifically seems perfect for that type of device rather than holding up a phone in between you and the customer. BUT for the price it can’t be just a live translation device, and none of the other features seemed any more appealing than a smartwatch

I'm skeptical too but not quite as much as some of the comments. I get the pin limits communication (e.g. texting in class or meetings) but maybe that's kinda the whole point; to decrease the quantity of connectivity while improving the quality. And maybe there will be new norms for self expression in this way. Great video though, I enjoyed this.

I think it's a weird, almost techno-luddite pendulum swing effort...but I think the idea of it could work if we get to the point of hyper powerful mini laptops/smartphones to handle Any kind of work/anything that requires continuous manual input, and then something like the AI Pin-device to replace all quick, impersonal communication, most? smartphone tools (camera, it projects traffic directions better somehow, etc) ...haha so yeah, this isn't it (but I hope it leads to the better version/idea)

Only thing I can think of to add to it is to add a armband(with a screen thats bendable) you wear thats connected to the pin. Only thing then is battery life. If it ever does become mainstream I could see battery shops here and there where you would just swap out batteries to recharge for a new one fully charged for a small fee for the pin and another for the armband. Thats just what I think could push this further. Downside is people dealing with theft over devices. Until people don't have to worry about money and theft it'll never happen.

It's a companion device that can do pretty much NOTHING a smartphone can't do, so I'm supposed to buy yet another thing because, well, I don't know? Hell no! What were they thinking?!? That thing is DOA.

[@robosegal]

good idea in theory, feels like parts or missing or not made yet to make this next level for average consumers to wanna buy. Such a dope video either way. Very thought provoking of the failures that get forgotten before we see the next big thing that could potentially be taking concepts from this early ai based device yk.

[@Toptech92186]

this would be perfect for people that want to go back to talk and text and stop thier addiction with social media

[@Bluerevolution]

I've been closely looking for this for months now. You can't judge this as just another phone; that was your first mistake. The applications of computers are slowly disappearing as a whole other way of computing and interacting. You make a good point about how comfortable it is to talk to an artificial intelligence, and that you wouldn't want to have a conversation with an AI pin in a meeting. However, there are gestures that you can still use to record conversations, capturing moments. The hope is that AI will collect enough data so that you don't need to talk to it. I mean it will understand your position and location where it could remind you things before you go in a meeting without talking to it it’s called setting intentions you can’t set an intention with a phone try it it’s difficult there are a few ways setting an alarm but sending an alarm on this device is completely different you might want to set an alarm in a location or when you see someone or hear something you see how this is different type of computing all together collecting notes you can create a second brain I mean they showed it to you so the whole idea of the entertainment is also wrong it’s called experiencing your own and entertainment up you’re creating it not someone else it’s a whole different game my friend be excited about not what is happening now but 52 ten years spatial Computing allows you to communicate with hands gesture visual environment cues spatial location cues you have five acts as of information access and have just your little key bad on your phone literally Please consider this as a future technology that you don’t understand yet. The world still doesn't know the impacts of phones, especially when the iPhone came out.

[@yennjackofficial9526]

good point but he just ignore this good comment

[@blandinatan5451]

I think its great for older folks who have a hard time navigating with technology. So speaking through it is great.

[@Svykle]

One use case they highlighted was taking a picture of the food using AI pin and logging the calories. If they can really get that right, i can see a good use case.

[@jithinsunny1323]

i feel if we can eliminate the unnecessary screen time using this, it will bring in the thought revolution we very much need.

[@martinpavlicek2299]

Partly yes but it would also increase AI using time drastically. There are many positive sides to it and something like this might get its userbase. But would you like to have to input every message by voice? Are not there types of messages that you want to send silently while for example sitting in a bus or during lecture in school? Something you want to keep private? Also I am not sure AI will not try to interfere and censor your thoughts. People would not spend time formulating their own answers they would just tell something like "Hey AI pin reply him that x" but the AI pin will probably formulate the answer itself. People think about what to write even when they are on the go, but they would not converse with AI about it for much time, they would just give it instruction to do it I think. Also I could imagine it could refuse to send certain messages that you would want to send. And there does not necessarily have to be anything bad about those messages

[@twylxght]

I mean, technically I feel technology around this not just including this, like directions in cars could be synced up to the device. I mean it’s the earliest iteration, tech will get better with time, short time at that

[@max_wheelwright]

It won’t replace the phone, but it will be a companion for it

[@goyoloco702]

Hi Josh, thanks for the review. I agree with your comments. I work with disabilities and low-income families. Many of the kids in these families use their phones to do homework, receive tutoring, tele-meds appointments; as well as shop or pay bills, because they don't have a computer. Many of us who are economically fortunate don't always realize there is still a large population of people we come into contact with daily, living paycheck to paycheck. This type of product may look good on paper, but as you have stated, it's not functional for daily use, and definitely not useable for families who need and use their phone/ phone screen to complete hundreds of daily tasks that require visually reviewing data and information. I'm not saying this can't be a good investment, but it's definitely going to be considered a luxury or novelty item vs a resource or productivity tool.

[@hugworker]

This is like an updated pager.

[@1horatius]

will work in other ways specially on tasks where screen is no needed as a companion .

[@liamcollinson5695]

I'm confused it has a projector that I would guess is still technically a screen also said projector could of been interesting for netflix

[@Glace1221]

I don't see it replacing smartphones at all, but I can see it being used in conjunction with them somehow for convenience, and a more minimalist approach to this smart tech era.

[@omarlarhouati3280]

It's will be perfect if they add the VR glasses and playstore as well... I believe it will be a big evolution

[@JGrimes528]

I think maybe a watch instead of pin. That way you get the screen.

[@Oblivion_ch]

Maybe a extra keybord in the form of a smartphone. In your pocket

[@JeremyIrving1]

Very cool concept. The issue is that the phone is already with people. Add to that AirPods and soon glasses to provide optics and the phone will maintain its position to do the same with software. I get the idea of letting go of the phone, but the majority will not do that.

[@prasaddd]

User : what is my credit card pin Ai : 7778 Hacker : thank you ❤

[@t3ag3n3]

Meanwhile, augmented reality glasses, which have completely sucked, but seem much more convenient: where is this poseur climbing? And "smart watches", such as fitness watches, what's worse? They reduce screen time, have a lot of useful widgets, can measure telemetry, help with navigation, are allowed to read messages (which was the main point for their breakthrough), but they are not a replacement for a smartphone, but only an addition, an assistant.

[@MegaPoliyo]

It's the star trek communicator. We've arrived.

[@TheScarab19]

I see it as the Gen 1 star trek communicator. Definitely kinda ducky but yeah, that's also pretty cool. For someone who usually has a headset on wherever I go, just tap my chest and call someone I need to call. Be almost just like star trek. I want to see it evolve.

[@ethanyang961]

I believe in it more after watching this video. iPhone came out with the similar skepticism back in 2000s. AI Pin started something for sure.

[@laralara5193]

It's massively futuristic.

[@tcwcoolvideos]

Despite a few issues here that you point out n price being my main concern, I think it's a good device to cut down on screen time n allow people to interact more physically.

[@hanicka1511]

I'm curious about how they tested and validated the market for this.

[@NaughtiByNature]

Looking at your palm like a crazy person, cause what we are currently doing is so different 😂

[@jakebakers]

It would work well with the the elderly, blind people, police and service workers who need a body cam, like you mentions minimalists

[@rabagomauricio]

I agree completely, it is very interesting, experiencing with it would be awesome, but replacing smartphones ? It’s too far from that !! … nowadays the relationships are now by the screen !! New generations love this !

[@savannahalex]

I'm with you on your comparison at the end between this and Google Glass. If they made this in an eyewear design, I'd be more apt to move on it. In its current form factor, I'm out on it, and I'm normally an early adopter when it comes to nerdtech.

[@jjohnson568]

Just curious, can you Bluetooth it with your cell phone and not have to pay the monthly fee?

[@jaybuckets2153]

Listen , your car has gps . And we have grown to be so attached to a phone . And immediate gratification. It’s ok to tell slow down , tell a person I’ll FaceTime you when I get home from the laptop , or possibly limit your social media in take and check that when you get home . We have to slow down , I see this as an opportunity to ease the anxieties of the world . We have to slow down , and get back to ourselves , and not scrolling someone’s ig page , or needing an emoji to express our emotions . What happen to talking . Lol

[@KeyhanHadjari]

Navigation is very simple. You put it on your dashboard and it becomes a hud

[@mexicanlucky]

Smarphones became a toy that includes a tv a music player a computer and a gps, we got used to watching movies on a 6inch screen. We all know phones are designed to be addictive right? like a game boy back in the day. This device looks to be all straight forward practicality and I'm all in for it. When The iphone came out I wasn't all that hyped for it because I knew how to use a computer back in 2008.

[@88drumking]

You can look up local places and have it let you know the highest reviews. Most of the things you say out can't do, it actually can.

[@mrgarfer]

Exciting prototype.

[@jzjzjjz896]

100% agree. 1) Display is essential for many applications. 2) talking limits the usage cases.
