I hope we’ll see Neal Stephenson’s term Gargoyle come into use as wearable computing becomes more common

Stephenson’s joke with the Gargoyles is that the Protagonist looked down on them throughout the story, but eventually became one.

  • Every single person on HN, tapped into the to-link-compressed information feeds from every tech website currently live, literally is a gargoyle.

    • damn you really created a new account just to roast the whole of HN. Not bad.
