Smart Glasses and the Future of Healthcare and Delivery

Yeah. Are you ready for this? You send us this conversation and honestly, I was hooked from the first line. It's like peeking into someone's brainstorm session for the future. Like seriously, where do people come up with this stuff? Well, it is fascinating to see what people imagine um you know, when they think about how tech could change the world. Really shows how creative people are. Yeah, exactly. And this one, this one you sent us, it seems like it was a human and a chatbot just going back and forth tossing around ideas for new apps and innovations. Yeah. So, we've got cargo ride sharing where everyday folks become delivery drivers on their normal routes and generic delivery with a a community point system replacing payment with like good vibes. I don't know. And they get this smart glasses recording our whole lives for, you know, doctors and memories. Whoa. It's Is this brilliant or is it just like a little big brother-ish? It's a good question. We're going to unpack it all. Yeah. Let's Let's uh start with that first one. That cargo ride sharing sounds interesting. That's like a a really clever twist on things like ride sharing and the gig economy that are so popular these days. So instead of just, you know, driving people around, we're talking about using all those empty seats to move packages. Yeah. And they really nailed it. The problem it solves. I loved when they said, uh, small package, big truck, traffic nightmare, right? That's that's the worst. Those giant delivery trucks for like one tiny thing. Yeah. Drives me crazy. I know. It's like really you need that that huge truck just for my my little package. It's ridiculous. Yeah. So, this this system though, I think it could really make things better. It could mean less traffic, maybe even cheaper delivery. Yeah. And who knows, maybe even more flexible delivery times. I like that. Yeah. Okay. Now, let's get to generic delivery because this is where I think it gets like really interesting, right? This is all about like neighbors helping neighbors. So, imagine, you know, someone just swinging by with your groceries because they were already going to the store anyway. Oh, that would be so nice. I know, right? And instead of money, there's this like thank you and you're welcome point system. Oh, interesting. So, it's all about, you know, being nice to each other in the community and helping people out. Oh, I love that. It's a really nice idea. Much more friendly. Yeah. It makes your neighborhood feel like a real neighborhood, you know? Yeah. It totally reminds me of this one time it was it was winter and I was carrying all these groceries and it was snowing. Oh, no. And I was like, ugh, I wish a neighbor would just like magically appear. with my stuff right now. Yeah. You know what? That actually is a perfect transition. Oh, yeah. Because the last one we got to talk about is those smart glasses that record everything you do. They could like remember where you parked and all your stuff. Oh, wow. I mean, they could potentially change our lives in huge ways. Yeah, that's that's getting into sci-fi territory. It is. It is. But it's but it's super fascinating, right? They like what are the good things, what are the bad things? Well, yeah, the potential is incredible, but then there's like the ethical stuff, too. You got to think about that. Yeah. Okay. So, the conversation it it actually really sold me on the possible good stuff like for for health care, you know, and for for memory. Oh, yeah. Imagine you never forget if you took your medicine. Oh, that would be so helpful. I know. Or you have like a visual record to jog your memory. Yeah. That's amazing. Mind-blowing. It is. It is really amazing. But we we do have to talk about the the elephant in the room, which is is privacy, right? So, who who gets to see all this personal data? You know, how do we how do we keep it safe? How do we make sure no one uses it in a bad way?
