智能手机是否让我们低头了？增强现实眼镜能否帮助我们抬起头来？
在2006年，我记得我用的是翻盖手机，T-Mobile是我的网络运营商。当时社交媒体的使用并没有真正嵌入手机中。早期的社交媒体形式显然是AIM、雅虎即时通讯和MSN Messenger，这取决于你使用的手机。当然，当智能手机真正兴起时，我认为大约是在2008到2009年（我知道iPhone的相机是2007年推出的），社交媒体以其非常原始的形式开始崛起。这里我想明确的是，我所说的社交媒体是通过我们的手持设备进行的。到那时，论坛已经活跃并在发展中。
随着接下来十年社交媒体的使用增长，我们开始不再抬头，总是低头看手机。到2017年（当时我记得TikTok正式叫做Musically），社交媒体开始将生活完全转变为通过手机的体验，而不是实际的互动。
我提到这些是因为我最近对社交媒体的演变变得更加乐观。我从来没有对这个话题感到沮丧，但我注意到它确实让我们远离了当下的时刻。最近我开始使用带有内置显示屏的眼镜，我开始思考，如果我们的眼镜来记录而不是手机，社交媒体是否可能变得更加社交。

In 2006, I remember my flip phone and T-Mobile was my network. I remember social media use wasn't really embedded in phones at the time. The early precursors to that obviously being AIM, Yahoo Messenger, and MSN Messenger, depending on your phone of course. When smartphones really took off, which I'd argue would be 2008 to 2009 (I know iPhone camera out 2007), social media in its very prehistoric form started to rise. Now I want to be clear here. I am talking about social media through our handheld devices. Forums were already alive and brewing at that point.<p>As the use of social media grew over the following decade, we stopped looking up and always looked down. By 2017 (Musically) which is what I remember TikTok being formally, started turning social media into a 100% my life through a phone experience instead of actual interaction.<p>I bring all this up because I have recently grown more optimistic about the evolution of social media. I was never a downer on the topic but I noticed it really took us out of any given moment. I recently started using glasses with a built-in display and I started to wonder if social media, might actually become more social if our glasses are doing the recording instead of our phones.
