is good morning skip this over three days alright that's cool you're welcome till alive happy Monday everyone welcome to another episode of the 359 where we're gonna try to go to a number of stories today we've got two greats rock we are it's Monday it's forgive us it's been it's been a rough weekend so we're gonna be talking about snapchat or snap spectacles whether or not they look done within Google glass we'll also be talking about Alfred story looking at sort of where you want to be watching the presidential debate tonight Facebook or Twitter that's if you're not an old person and watching on TV like me i'm actually watching on TV alright but i'll be participating on social media all right well then lastly we'll be talking about that photo of hillary clinton with the with throngs of people turning her back on her not not because they're against her but the hell they want to take selfies it's basically become this the statement piece on the Instagram generation or is it it's like what if what if I just did the entire podcast with your back that's it everybody turn yeah so as always if you have any questions about snapchat presidential debate or we'll try not to be too political or the Hillary snapchat photo put them in the comments section Brian will take out the best and will try to best her answer them alrighty let's let's get started let's get this recording in the bank and 359 podcasts starting in three two welcome to the 359 when we talk about the top tech news of the day and all the other crap we want to throw in I'm Roger chain na mão for ding are you a snapchat user well the company has a wearable for you say hello to spectacle a pair of sunglasses with the built-in wireless camera brings to mind google glass now for what do you think these look way cooler than Google glass right here I have to disagree with you already at the disagree with you I think Google ass seemed a lot cooler this it was like a metal head band with a tiny like piece of glass I like the kind of Star Trek sci-fi element that google glass brought to the fashion world star trek has never looked cool i mean the throngs of cnet readers who disagree with you there but whether these glasses I mean they look to bid but I think they look cooler than Google glass also their sunglasses so you can't really wear them all the time like which are inside you can't really I mean you can I mean we can't do except that you already look like an idiot they just go with it yeah just embrace the obnoxiousness pretty much and you know the advantage of them being sunglasses when you're recording somebody is that they can't see the shame in your eyes doing it as opposed to win either there would be shame yeah when you're wearing a google glass it's like everyone can see into your soul and you know just tell how you know a shame do you are so are more serious no do you think this will do better the google glass which famously flamed out you know was it was a failure for google you know these are a lot cheaper hundred thirty bucks do you think people actually buy well that and the fact that snapchat already has the Millennial fanbase I mean more people there I using snapchat than Twitter right now and is they have the fan base are a google glass was kind of I mean everyone's using google but it's not like you know everyone was using wearables at that time especially what I mean it's just employee cuz it google also has not a fan base but they've got a much larger user base but you know it wasn't a user base that was really motivated to get this you think snapchat users are motivated enough to actually buy this thing yeah I did I can't like count the amount of times that I've seen something crazy happen as I'm walking and I wish you know I had my phone out to snapchat it but now I said you just sorry if I have this is already there it's completely ready you know and I'll never have that you know the snapchat that got away I know that pains you so next up that's what you wrote a story yet so my story it's if you're planning on watching the debate today if you watch it on Facebook or if you watch it on Twitter you're going to get a vastly different experience right so what I'd found was on Twitter essentially it's faster it's more reactive and it's very very public yep so you're probably going to end up getting responses from random people telling you why you're wrong and why they hate you as opposed to if you're watching it on Facebook and you're commenting it on Facebook you know it's your friends in your family we're gonna hate you secretly but not you know directly comment and tell you right your opinions are wrong except for that one friend that you always have that just wants to raise some raise some trouble for you yeah we all have one of those on facebook I mean I I've tended to participate Twitter whenever one of these debates go on and you know I'll have some people like or agree with me for the most part it's it's people disagreeing that actually are motivated enough to actually comment right yeah ones it that's really i summed up the story is how much trolling do you want to do right facebook or twitter so yeah alright lastly i want to talk about this photo that's making the rounds of hillary clinton and hordes of people turning their backs on her not because they have anything against her but they want to take a selfie of course they want to take a selfie folks call its orbit as summation of the Instagram or selfie generation but what do you think I've been incredibly frustrated by selfies I get that you want to have yourself in a photo with you know whatever you're with but the whole thing is you know just show me that I don't want to see your face you know it's selfies you know no pun intended but it's such an incredibly like selfish like motivations behind it we're just you know you first of all you're already bragging about where you are but now it's also Hey look at this photo of me doing it also and it's just just take the photo of Hillary Clinton well fair to full disclosure this launched a lot of thought pieces about the selfie generation but Hillary actually asked everyone to turn around so does change the story a little bit but yeah you know selfies are here to stay for now they're the dominant form of communication for us so for more about these stories check us out Cena Roger chain I'm Alfred Aang thanks for listening selfie generation selfish I July we relegated to that I actually don't like that labeling at all from but I'm not an accurate there's there's like all these like a didactic pieces like oh the Millennials are the me generation and more like Millennials and all that it's I mean it's a small sect I would like to think compared to the larger populace I'd like to think so he's like I and I would disagree I've you probably right but it sucks it we're kind of really especially the younger you go the more i think more broad-based the selfie interest is right is it can we is it not just a fad because it seems like a fixed night it's not a lot of fat I mean not pictures of yourself in this the motion no like yeah I'm waiting for you know the the pivoting of you know cameras where people don't have to do this I don't think that drones become pockets yeah oh yes fly around and I don't think it's a fad because if you look at all the handset manufacturers they're upping the camera quality on the front facing lens like it's even Apple just the new iphone 7 has a nicer camera on the front because they know people like to take selfies and that's sort of catering to that that mood that that pattern it wouldn't be so villainized if it didn't overtake everything like what happened to posing to being like oh no wait wait what are you more what are you more annoyed by for me a lie's selfies of me or food photos I will take the food photos really over the head over the selfies I get a lot of I get equal amounts grief just be a selfies aren't even you know that good of a photo because you yeah they're not qualities like we had all this technology tripods and monopods and you know but not God forbid the passerby know why Rangers gonna know what wants to carry tripod people don't talk to each other anymore so don't want to ask you before and also this is this is what I found annoying when you ask someone to take a photo they usually do a crap job of taking photo there oh you know my favorite always like crop outs they crop out the thing you wanted right because your head acne is really what I see hey at least I have editing control over my photo you know my favorite thing to do is when people ask me to take photos so this is probably why people don't ask other people to take photos of them I'll snap at least like four or five selfies on my phone and make it look like I'm taking their photo and then I'll take a few photos of them that's so let's go really tear easy there Satan that'll show them look out for like there's probably a website like look out for this guy do not ask him to take your photos all right anybody out there the chat land selfies are food photos do you think the the selfie picture with Hillary speaks volumes do you think you're just going to roll your eyes and move on with your life I'm actually really curious to see if any readers are interested in spectacles like is that something that they'd be willing to purchase for a hundred thirty dollars i think that's a resounding no i think you know that photo Hilary that we we had with everyone turning their backs on I think in like maybe two years like 2018 y'all is gonna be a photo of everyone facing her ever and everyone's wearing spectacles oh that is a bold Golda lame hate that oh yeah over the former like really everyone wears glasses are at least I don't care what you I know what you look like show me something new when interesting granted looking at Hillary Clinton is not all that new and interesting it's like it's like that photo with Zuckerberg walking around with the uh oh the VR they'll be restless riffs on no knows that the gear VR cuz if a samsung event and I was there all of us were stuck in our stupid viewer world is Mark walked right by us felt pretty dumb afterwards should yeah it's gonna be like that but with the step respect I asked your overlord I would never be caught dead wearing those things but then again I've never been big into snapchat or the photo story game in general yeah but that's me if anyone out there things to snapchat snap Inc excuse me excuse me yeah this is a cool progressive new motion I mean I think for first snap it's definitely interesting it's like this is a social network going to hardware although historically speaking that hasn't really done well look at facebook trying to get the phones that just didn't I mean I think cameras do the best when they're at a place where no one really notices I'm I mean think how well like GoPro has done right what do you just mount it onto something I think this is a nice step toward that I think there's gonna be a lot of vlogs and you know job how do you take a foot it you actually could you have it like I think you have to hold on to it and it's only like a ten-second like interval because snapchat works intense oh yeah yeah yeah but you still have to hold the button yep so how is it I feel like Cyclops from the friggin x-man now if the shot laser beams i'd be interested by it snapping get on it oh no they're onto us yeah I don't know I guess it like there are plenty of silly looking novelty sunglasses out there but I'm not dropping a hundred yeah I mean my god Kanye West had shutter shades all right that like you can't even see out of I think he's clearly Papa Ninja Turtles yes my point is i think you know there's dumber sunglasses out there i think this one's pretty tame compared to any of the true but i'm not trying to add me like bebop or Kanye West yeah Miguel in the chat says I feel that Facebook is dying for kids Instagram and snapchat are taking over now lets blend this in with the other story what if snapchat hosted the debate intense well they do well know there's snapchat stories for debates and like a lot of political events they were there for the national conventions for both of them right but there's a but what if you had like that was your option the entirety of the debate in the intervals in 10 second intervals I mean they will highlight clips I don't think yeah they would probably only rely on highlights instead of doing like you know here's the entire thing in 10 seconds oh god I mean TV shows have done that Rick and Morty did an entire episode where they put her on their Instagram and this is back when their Instagram clubs were only 15 seconds long oh well yeah that's how they got like a huge growth in their audience do that's because our attention span is bottom down yep I got a goldfish generation to a Miguel's point though I mean it's not the Facebook exactly desperate for the kids because it's it owns Instagram so kind of have the kids already but I mean I would argue that basically that kids are using Facebook much and much less yeah I agree yeah yeah can we verify this John says they disabled comments and ratings in the video for spectacles I don't know Oh to their promo video online or in the actual functional feature allegedly John would you clarify that for us because well I don't think it'd be that in the function because it would not be the purpose yeah right you can't comment and rate snapchat so what you're saying is that their YouTube because you're expecting I mean we have a video in our story we can check it let's take a look I can't play this back during a podcast go to the oh you can't go to the videos I mean I can we're looking at it right now but Yeah right John comments disabled interesting and yeah no ratings either so then you can leave your comments here yeah leave your comments here will relay relay them snapping there you go yeah that's that's interesting that makes you think that maybe they're already kind of apprehensive well is that or they've already yeah they probably would have filled enough negative reactions they're like let's uh let's pull that off oh maybe we're just a progressive and we don't adhere to the comments since we know it's just filled with trolls which we know a few things about yeah yeah you to distract ourselves youtube spectacles from michael who well what would those be tough would you just watch youtube video I'm een that guess is logic yeah oh yeah like life no just like a decent quality camera coddle Oh which we've seen some camera goggles in the past but I should probably be better than what snapchat is doing but yeah I don't know the tech behind that GoPro manufactures something could shoot long-form like that yeah maybe that was my poet could just I think I think all this I think why stay with a more natural company to solve this problem i snapchat works for this is because it's not long form and it's you know yeah it's just I don't know what the bandwidth like would it be like yeah yeah yeah I don't know yeah generally mm-hmm I am going to try to catch a debate tonight if you guys don't work me too hard no promises there yeah yeah about that where are you gonna watch you said you're watching on TV uh you know I lied i'll probably watch it i'll probably stream it just cuz i don't turn on my TV that much I'm interested to see how it performs and how horrendous the guy mean I i watch it all i may just i may just watch my twitter feet just to see the highlights cuz yeah it's hard to commit and nowadays so well i mean they had the the football game on twitter the other night and like we said debates were kind of like the logical move and award shows and there you go kinds of live events my strategy has always been to watch it on TV and then have it on a stream on my desktop that's i'm not desktop just on my computer because it's about 15 seconds or so behind ya something crazy happens live I can take I know it's coming up and then I can take that image a pretty good yeah so just really work in the cyst I know he really cares when I don't know and then if you watch it here's the advantage of watching it on YouTube too it's much easier to live like jiff it oh yeah so I mean that's also there's a lot of perks for watching on different platforms but i watch on TV for like because it's the fastest one yeah yeah and then on Twitter I'm just there to like comment on it and then on another stream to don't make any image those many platforms are you on it a given moment at least three and then i snapchat the entire thing so I'm snapchat yourself with like computer and a laptop in a tablet it's a whole set of debate night to get get wild here nice no I'm Tanya let's all right we gotta reformat the podcast to keep up with the trends are everybody here we go all right yeah a little selfie turn it around and wrap up the show we go and uh you like it look you know what that is right yeah all right lean back end you know well let you guys do that if you liked anything you saw or heard here check
