Google Glass seems awkward as all hell, I'm not convinced it will catch on. Then again, I thought G+ was the death nail of FB, so I don't have the best track record for such things.It isn't a survival instinct, it's a social instinct.
In this day and age, the two are intertwined. But yeah, I get what you are saying. When I'm in a social setting, even if the sun is bright and we are outside I will take my sunglasses off so that I can look someone in the eye.
That's a little dramatic, don't you think? How many times in the past year has your your survival been on the line? And how many times in the past 24 hours have your social skills played a part in your day? G+ was a mismanagement of an idea. Most everything that Google plus had as an advantage over Facebook it stole from D*... which was never designed to be monetized. So Google took that privacy-centric framework and forced it to fit their "we track you everywhere all the time in all things" business model. What was left was something more confusing than facebook with none of your friends on it. mk, forwardslash - we need a better symbol than the plus sign for bold. I appreciate the new markup over the old markup but every time I use a symbol I shout at somebody.In this day and age, the two are intertwined.

-It was meant more as a commentary on what "survival" means in modern western culture. Most of us (thankfully) aren't facing daily "survival threats" so our concern shifts to a social-centric one. The moment my true survival is threatened, I'm sure I'll care less about my social standing. But then, I would guess that in a very real way the better thought of you are in society the more likely you are to survive longer. -But yeah, it was dramatic, no doubt.And how many times in the past 24 hours have your social skills played a part in your day?
-I've made 5 phone calls this morning where my social skills played a very real part in my day and in a "earn your bacon" way, a real part in my survival. You might say I make a living by utilizing and leveraging my social skills. What was left was something more confusing than facebook with none of your friends on it.
-Exactly.
