When I was younger, I was wondering what it would feel like to to feel 'left behind' by technology. I remember helping so many adults to navigate a world they didn't understand. They'd ask "left click or right click?" every time I asked them to use their mouse. They just couldn't grasp some of the context.

This is not quite the same thing, but I'm starting to feel that perhaps I am starting to witness that same disconnect. Having read the title alone, I wondered "how are the headphones collecting data?" Oh, there's an app. Why would you need an app for headphones? It simply never occurred to me.
