Just a thought: AirPod hearing aids messing up social cues

When the AppleWatch came out, we had to get used to folks looking at their watch for messages and not think looking at their watch meant they were in a rush.

Now with folks starting to use AirPods as hearing aids, we’ll need to stop thinking folks with AirPods in their ears are not following the conversation.

Funny how new uses of old tech can muddle previous social cues.
