Chuck Joiner, David Ginsburg, Eric Bolden, Jeff Gamet, Marty Jencius, Brian Flanigan-Arthurs, and Web Bixby discuss how smart watch use has spread, with the Apple Watch leading the pack. The panel debates the implications of Meta apparently throwing in the towel on competing with the Apple Vision Pro, and the wisdom of Microsoft sending its recall feature out to testers again. Threads is testing expiring posts, leading the panel to contrast one company wanting to capture everything you do on your computer, and another wanting to let you put a time limit on social posts. But will they really disappear?
