But even if you had one of these prized items, the low reflectivity of polished metal resulted in a frustratingly dark image, especially when used indoors. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">In China, people began making mirrors with the use of silver-mercury amalgams as early as 500 AD, but it wasn’t until the early Renaissance that European manufacturers got their act together and discovered a superior method of coating glass with a tin-mercury amalgam. In the 16th century, the Italian city of Venice -- already famed as a hub of glass-making know-how -- became a center of mirror production and used this new technique to produce a near-perfect and undistorted reflection for the first time. (Think of it as the iPhone 6 of mirrors: shiny, coveted and super-spendy.) \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Despite these innovations -- which really only impacted the wealthy -- it wasn’t until centuries later, in 1835, that true mass manufacture of mirrors came about with the invention of the silvered-glass mirror, credited to a German chemist, that was swiftly adapted for the masses.

In the 16th century, the Italian city of Venice -- already famed as a hub of glass-making know-how -- became a center of mirror production and used this new technique to produce a near-perfect and undistorted reflection for the first time.

When I was able to get to a computer, I used \u003ca href=\"http://www.apple.com/icloud/find-my-iphone.html\">Find my iPhone\u003c/a> to track it. The little icon of my face slowly made its way down Mission Street, took a left on \u003ca href=\"http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/04/26/police-sting-stolen-iphones_n_3138609.html\">7th and landed at Market St\u003c/a>. At this point, my phone disappeared. It had been wiped and was most likely gone for good. My emotional state ran the obvious gamut between panic and despair. But after an hour of frenetic searches on “how to find your serial number,\" \u003ca href=\"http://ipod.about.com/od/iphonetroubleshooting/tp/What-To-Do-When-Iphone-Is-Stolen.htm\">requisite changing of passwords, and filing of police reports\u003c/a>, I was ready for a drink and the continuation of my regular evening of chatting with friends and watching bad TV.

I didn’t choose to \u003ca href=\"http://www.sabbathmanifesto.org/unplug/\">unplug\u003c/a>. Not all technology was gone, anyway.

With our phones, we are allowed to lose trust and reliability in people. In one instance, I was going to a friend's house whose buzzer has never worked and I always texted when I arrived.

We’ve all seen it, or worse been a part of it. You look around a restaurant and there’s bound to be at least one table of offenders. Groups of friends, people on dates, it doesn’t seem to matter who’s around, we’re all tied up in our smartphones. It always bums me out to see a couple on a date in a nice restaurant -- beautiful lighting, beautiful food, and beautiful company -- who are both, separately, fully enthralled with what’s happen on the tiny screen in front of them. I want to shake them and scream, “Pay attention, you idiots!” because I know that there’s likely no way that whatever they’re looking at on screen is as good as what’s right in front of their eyes. But it doesn’t matter what I think. Despite all my rage, I am still just a sucker for my smartphone.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I’m sure we’ve all been guilty of it at some point. We’ve all checked an email or aimlessly scoured Facebook status updates on our phones when we should have been focused on something or someone else at some time or another. We’ve all nodded along to a conversation while working on upping our score on Angry Birds.We’ve all told a story or two without removing our eyes from our handheld cyber world. And, after years of practice, I can finally text and walk! But I don’t think this is anything to be proud of.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s rude. And It’s not how we were raised.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last week, the Millennials' prophet Louis CK candidly discussed his distaste for cell phones with Conan O’Brien. The clip from the show went viral right away. I must have “liked” 11 different re-posts of it on Facebook within its first day of circulation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"single-video\">\u003ciframe src=\"//www.youtube.com/embed/5HbYScltf1c\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"480\" height=\"360\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/div>\n\u003cp>He made a lot of really strong points:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">-How we no longer value the importance of eye contact during conversation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">-How we are incapable of just sitting, quietly, doing nothing without stimulation (also referred to as “being alive”).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">-And how we use our cell phones as a security blanket to help us not feel alone.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">He said it really funny, but we all got the point.

It went from being considered rude to field a phone call during dinner to being common, maybe even expected. Actually, at this point, not receiving some kind of electronic communication during the course of a meal would be surprising. We are more connected than ever, yet our digital addiction leaves us isolated. As wearable devices like Google Glass threaten to detach us even further, it might be time to admit that the machines have taken over!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But we are not powerless to stop them, all we need is a little digital detox and some self control.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">Last year, San Francisco native \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/lilb\">Brian “Lil B” Perez\u003c/a> and his friends popularized a new real-life social game called “Phone Stack” (actually they called it “Don’t Be A D*ck While Having Meals With Friends,” but let’s not split hairs). Perez posted the rules on \u003ca href=\"http://lil-b.tumblr.com/post/15157411570/introducing-our-new-game-called-dont-be-a-di-k\">his Tumblr page\u003c/a> and wouldn’t ya know it, the craze took off.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">The rules are simple. As the name suggests, guests stack their phones face-down in the middle of the table during meal time. The first person who flips their phone over is stuck paying the bill. This is what it has come down to, folks. In order to carry on in-person conversations with our friends, we must first feel financial pressure. If you can’t afford dinner for five, you better start taking an active interest in Kevin or whoever happens to be across from you. It’s kind of silly, really. But it works. Phone stacking gets people talking, and even if it is only to avoid the dinner bill, it’ a step in the right direction. It was smart to turn it into a “game,” people love winning games.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_8682\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 470px\">\u003ca href=\"http://blogs.kqed.org/pop/2013/09/30/put-that-away-phone-stacking-and-other-solutions-to-your-phone-addiction/screen-shot-2013-09-30-at-10-31-26-am/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-8682\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-8682\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2013/09/Screen-Shot-2013-09-30-at-10.31.26-AM.png\" alt=\"Maybe you've seen this floating around the web\" width=\"470\" height=\"471\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2013/09/Screen-Shot-2013-09-30-at-10.31.26-AM.png 470w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2013/09/Screen-Shot-2013-09-30-at-10.31.26-AM-400x400.png 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2013/09/Screen-Shot-2013-09-30-at-10.31.26-AM-32x32.png 32w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2013/09/Screen-Shot-2013-09-30-at-10.31.26-AM-64x64.png 64w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2013/09/Screen-Shot-2013-09-30-at-10.31.26-AM-96x96.png 96w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2013/09/Screen-Shot-2013-09-30-at-10.31.26-AM-128x128.png 128w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2013/09/Screen-Shot-2013-09-30-at-10.31.26-AM-75x75.png 75w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 470px) 100vw, 470px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Maybe you've seen this floating around the web\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>In other circles, smartphones are simply not invited to the party. Many celebrities have banned smartphones (and photography) from their events. While normal civilians have banished them from their bedrooms, dinner tables and “me” time, some find it useful to have a curfew, no phones after 11 pm, no exceptions. In most cases, hiding the offending device and setting up clear consequences for its use have been the most successful tactics.

I want to go back to my favorite game of “people watching.” I want to look my friends in the eyes when I tell them something.

We’ve all seen it, or worse been a part of it. You look around a restaurant and there’s bound to be at least one table of offenders. Groups of friends, people on dates, it doesn’t seem to matter who’s around, we’re all tied up in our smartphones. It always bums me out to see a couple on a date in a nice restaurant -- beautiful lighting, beautiful food, and beautiful company -- who are both, separately, fully enthralled with what’s happen on the tiny screen in front of them. I want to shake them and scream, “Pay attention, you idiots!” because I know that there’s likely no way that whatever they’re looking at on screen is as good as what’s right in front of their eyes. But it doesn’t matter what I think. Despite all my rage, I am still just a sucker for my smartphone.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I’m sure we’ve all been guilty of it at some point. We’ve all checked an email or aimlessly scoured Facebook status updates on our phones when we should have been focused on something or someone else at some time or another. We’ve all nodded along to a conversation while working on upping our score on Angry Birds.We’ve all told a story or two without removing our eyes from our handheld cyber world. And, after years of practice, I can finally text and walk! But I don’t think this is anything to be proud of.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s rude. And It’s not how we were raised.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last week, the Millennials' prophet Louis CK candidly discussed his distaste for cell phones with Conan O’Brien.

It went from being considered rude to field a phone call during dinner to being common, maybe even expected. Actually, at this point, not receiving some kind of electronic communication during the course of a meal would be surprising. We are more connected than ever, yet our digital addiction leaves us isolated. As wearable devices like Google Glass threaten to detach us even further, it might be time to admit that the machines have taken over!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But we are not powerless to stop them, all we need is a little digital detox and some self control.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">Last year, San Francisco native \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/lilb\">Brian “Lil B” Perez\u003c/a> and his friends popularized a new real-life social game called “Phone Stack” (actually they called it “Don’t Be A D*ck While Having Meals With Friends,” but let’s not split hairs). Perez posted the rules on \u003ca href=\"http://lil-b.tumblr.com/post/15157411570/introducing-our-new-game-called-dont-be-a-di-k\">his Tumblr page\u003c/a> and wouldn’t ya know it, the craze took off.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">The rules are simple. As the name suggests, guests stack their phones face-down in the middle of the table during meal time. The first person who flips their phone over is stuck paying the bill. This is what it has come down to, folks. In order to carry on in-person conversations with our friends, we must first feel financial pressure. If you can’t afford dinner for five, you better start taking an active interest in Kevin or whoever happens to be across from you. It’s kind of silly, really. But it works. Phone stacking gets people talking, and even if it is only to avoid the dinner bill, it’ a step in the right direction. It was smart to turn it into a “game,” people love winning games.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_8682\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 470px\">\u003ca href=\"http://blogs.kqed.org/pop/2013/09/30/put-that-away-phone-stacking-and-other-solutions-to-your-phone-addiction/screen-shot-2013-09-30-at-10-31-26-am/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-8682\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-8682\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2013/09/Screen-Shot-2013-09-30-at-10.31.26-AM.png\" alt=\"Maybe you've seen this floating around the web\" width=\"470\" height=\"471\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2013/09/Screen-Shot-2013-09-30-at-10.31.26-AM.png 470w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2013/09/Screen-Shot-2013-09-30-at-10.31.26-AM-400x400.png 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2013/09/Screen-Shot-2013-09-30-at-10.31.26-AM-32x32.png 32w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2013/09/Screen-Shot-2013-09-30-at-10.31.26-AM-64x64.png 64w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2013/09/Screen-Shot-2013-09-30-at-10.31.26-AM-96x96.png 96w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2013/09/Screen-Shot-2013-09-30-at-10.31.26-AM-128x128.png 128w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2013/09/Screen-Shot-2013-09-30-at-10.31.26-AM-75x75.png 75w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 470px) 100vw, 470px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Maybe you've seen this floating around the web\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>In other circles, smartphones are simply not invited to the party. Many celebrities have banned smartphones (and photography) from their events. While normal civilians have banished them from their bedrooms, dinner tables and “me” time, some find it useful to have a curfew, no phones after 11 pm, no exceptions. In most cases, hiding the offending device and setting up clear consequences for its use have been the most successful tactics. Out of sight, out of mind, that’s what they say.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">\u003cem>Huffington Post\u003c/em>’s \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/artistkimberlyb\">Kimberly Brooks\u003c/a> wants us to take it one step further.

Even as an offender of both texting during social interactions and taking meal shots, I have to agree. I’m willing to let go.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">It used to be cool to have a cell phone, to always be able to reach out and be reached. Now it’s disconnecting that gives us satisfaction. I am not a life-saving surgeon or an OBGYN, I do not need to be reached 24/7, I don’t want to be. I want to go back to my favorite game of “people watching.” I want to look my friends in the eyes when I tell them something. I want to sleep through the night without East Coast text messages arriving to wake me.

I've always felt I am just like one year too old for them. At my brother's high school graduation I listened to a popular teacher give his whole speech on the scourge of emoticons and I thought, \"really, this is a thing that happens?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>My brother is 13 months younger than me.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Anyway, I resisted the lure of the emoticon for a long time. I'm a writer, allegedly, so why couldn't I just use words to express my feelings? Or if a facial expression was required, why not just find the person I had an expression for and smile or frown at them? But like any trend in language that English majors decry--the preposition at the end of the sentence, saying \"me and Steve\" instead of \"Steve and I\"--the pull of the smiley was hard to resist. More and more of my communication started being in short written sentences: chats, texts, emails. I started being friends with AND RESPECTING several heavy smiley users. And because I am the kind of person who frequently does the exact thing she said she would never do, I decided to throw myself into the world of expression through colons and parenthesis and see what happened.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After much intense, personal research on the subject of the most popular of all the emoticons, I have come up with the following findings:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Contrary to popular belief, it's okay to use smiley faces in work emails. SOMETIMES.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Strangely enough, work was my gateway drug into emoticons. Here is the problem at work that the smiley has solved for me: that moment when someone has sent me an email thanking me for something I have done for them and I can't decide if I should respond or just leave it because there really isn't anything left to say but if I just leave it, will that be misconstrued as rude? Will the colleague think I am ignoring them or I don't care that they said thank you? Recently, I stopped freaking out and started responding: \":)\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Similarly, the smiley face works in the situation that an email chain is going on too long for any reason and needs to be stopped. At work, 🙂 means \"The End\" (please see exceptions to this rule about four paragraphs down).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Stick with the classics.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A warning about work email: Outlook changes the simple 🙂 into a symbol that people outside of Outlook see as a \"J.\" This gets confusing (one co-worker told me he thought I was just really bad at typing for months before he figured out what was going on) so it's best to just undo and make it a straight up colon and closed parenthesis. The same can be said for basically all \u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emoji\" target=\"_blank\">Emojis\u003c/a> on the phones of people who don't get Emojis. They look like alien bugs in swimsuits. My experience is it is best to save Emojis for silliness and Instagram comments.

As one friend told me: \"I'm worried I'm going to sound like an ass without a smiley face.\" This idea seems to be the real driving force behind the use of the smiley in short, text-based communications and I am developing a theory about this: men and women \u003ca href=\"http://dsc.discovery.com/tv-shows/curiosity/topics/10-ways-men-women-comminucate-differently.htm\" target=\"_blank\">communicate way differently\u003c/a>, and in real life (IRL, if you're a kid), men are, either through socialization or whatever, taught to be more direct than women are. In real life, sometimes this gets them into big trouble with the ladies. Like \"oh no that girl is crying and all I wanted was for her to park the car correctly without killing us and how did this happen oh my god I don't want her to be crying!\"-type trouble. In real life, when one of these gender miscommunications happens, a guy can apologize and give you a hug, because honestly, he hates it when you start crying (\"you\" equals me in this scientific study). Over text, boys cannot see your face. They cannot see if you are crying. They don't have the heavily attuned telepathic reflexes of those of us raised as women, who have to judge how other people are feeling at every turn, in millions of contexts, based on the tiniest clues. To combat this fear, that somewhere a girl is sobbing as soon as she reads their texts, nice boys like to use the smiley face. And that's okay. It's kind of cute actually.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_7754\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 98px\">\u003ca href=\"http://blogs.kqed.org/pop/2013/08/23/the-smiley-face-dilemma-use-and-abusin-the-worlds-most-popular-emoticon/smiley5/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-7754\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-7754 \" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2013/08/smiley5.png\" alt=\"smiley5\" width=\"98\" height=\"96\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2013/08/smiley5.png 98w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2013/08/smiley5-32x32.png 32w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2013/08/smiley5-64x64.png 64w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 98px) 100vw, 98px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">🙂\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>However, there are many, many occasions when a smiley face is not appropriate.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As my unimpeachable evidence suggests, smiley faces have a time and a place.

I've always felt I am just like one year too old for them. At my brother's high school graduation I listened to a popular teacher give his whole speech on the scourge of emoticons and I thought, \"really, this is a thing that happens?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>My brother is 13 months younger than me.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Anyway, I resisted the lure of the emoticon for a long time. I'm a writer, allegedly, so why couldn't I just use words to express my feelings? Or if a facial expression was required, why not just find the person I had an expression for and smile or frown at them? But like any trend in language that English majors decry--the preposition at the end of the sentence, saying \"me and Steve\" instead of \"Steve and I\"--the pull of the smiley was hard to resist. More and more of my communication started being in short written sentences: chats, texts, emails. I started being friends with AND RESPECTING several heavy smiley users. And because I am the kind of person who frequently does the exact thing she said she would never do, I decided to throw myself into the world of expression through colons and parenthesis and see what happened.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After much intense, personal research on the subject of the most popular of all the emoticons, I have come up with the following findings:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Contrary to popular belief, it's okay to use smiley faces in work emails.

Here is the problem at work that the smiley has solved for me: that moment when someone has sent me an email thanking me for something I have done for them and I can't decide if I should respond or just leave it because there really isn't anything left to say but if I just leave it, will that be misconstrued as rude? Will the colleague think I am ignoring them or I don't care that they said thank you? Recently, I stopped freaking out and started responding: \":)\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Similarly, the smiley face works in the situation that an email chain is going on too long for any reason and needs to be stopped.

As one friend told me: \"I'm worried I'm going to sound like an ass without a smiley face.\" This idea seems to be the real driving force behind the use of the smiley in short, text-based communications and I am developing a theory about this: men and women \u003ca href=\"http://dsc.discovery.com/tv-shows/curiosity/topics/10-ways-men-women-comminucate-differently.htm\" target=\"_blank\">communicate way differently\u003c/a>, and in real life (IRL, if you're a kid), men are, either through socialization or whatever, taught to be more direct than women are. In real life, sometimes this gets them into big trouble with the ladies. Like \"oh no that girl is crying and all I wanted was for her to park the car correctly without killing us and how did this happen oh my god I don't want her to be crying!\"-type trouble. In real life, when one of these gender miscommunications happens, a guy can apologize and give you a hug, because honestly, he hates it when you start crying (\"you\" equals me in this scientific study). Over text, boys cannot see your face. They cannot see if you are crying. They don't have the heavily attuned telepathic reflexes of those of us raised as women, who have to judge how other people are feeling at every turn, in millions of contexts, based on the tiniest clues. To combat this fear, that somewhere a girl is sobbing as soon as she reads their texts, nice boys like to use the smiley face. And that's okay. It's kind of cute actually.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_7754\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 98px\">\u003ca href=\"http://blogs.kqed.org/pop/2013/08/23/the-smiley-face-dilemma-use-and-abusin-the-worlds-most-popular-emoticon/smiley5/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-7754\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-7754 \" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2013/08/smiley5.png\" alt=\"smiley5\" width=\"98\" height=\"96\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2013/08/smiley5.png 98w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2013/08/smiley5-32x32.png 32w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2013/08/smiley5-64x64.png 64w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 98px) 100vw, 98px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">🙂\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>However, there are many, many occasions when a smiley face is not appropriate.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As my unimpeachable evidence suggests, smiley faces have a time and a place.

The commercials on Spotify are really, really annoying, and sometimes even objectionable. My theory is the ads are chosen specifically to get you to pay for the service in order to avoid them, rather than to allow you to sit through them if you choose. I find Flo the Progressive Insurance lady as charming as the next person, but she raps in one commercial. In another she does a robot voice. It’s pretty painful. Another ad is for one of those services that gives confused young men tips on how to “seduce” women, the kind of thing that used to only be advertised in the back of \u003cem>Playboy\u003c/em> because it was so embarrassing and obnoxious. Spotify is helping pick-up artist culture--which is often \u003ca href=\"http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/2013/jun/21/kickstarter-above-the-game-ban\">amoral\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=muCUvxxVNsM\">misogynistic and tasteless\u003c/a>--move into the public forum towards acceptance. Other ads I’ve heard on Spotify have been similarly “geared towards men” and pretty much equally offensive.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This kind of rationalization of cheapness by turning it into a moral stand is one of several personality traits I’ve noticed myself developing lately which I would characterize as “dad-like”: if not like my own father, then like many dads, despite that I don’t have kids. Another such trait is getting big into succulents, and pointing out cool-looking ones I see in people’s front yards, despite being fully aware the person walking with me doesn’t care all that much.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Or maybe it’s not dad-like—maybe it’s more like I’m spoiled about ads because I grew up on the internet. I don’t bat an eye if an ad pops up in my face, but having to sit through one makes me squirm.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Either way, there’s a second, probably more significant reason I’m hesitant to pay for Spotify: Sean Parker, a major force behind Spotify and the guy who makes most of the money, is not that great (understatement).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Parker does things like send out \u003ca href=\"http://boingboing.net/2013/01/25/is-this-the-douchiest-press-re.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+boingboing%2FiBag+%28Boing+Boing%29\">staggeringly smug press releases\u003c/a> about the kind of parties he has.

Or about how he then wrote an \u003ca href=\"http://www.forbes.com/sites/kashmirhill/2013/06/27/facebook-billionaire-sean-parker-hates-the-world-he-helped-create/\">over-9,000 word screed\u003c/a> whining about his privacy. In a \u003ca href=\"http://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/13/06/sean-parker-responds-to-redwoods-wedding-criticism-and-his-defense-is-actually-pretty-convincing/276553/\">later letter\u003c/a>, he at least pointed out a legal problem that made it hard for him to get the permits he should have had, but in this same letter he smarmily referred to the redwood forests as “God’s cathedral,” and defended his wedding as having “no ice statues.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jeffrey L. Seglin is a syndicated ethics columnist and the author of \u003cem>The Right Thing: Conscience, Profit, and Personal Responsibility in Today’s Business\u003c/em>. He is also my godfather. I sent him a Facebook message about my Spotify dilemma. I put gas in my car, I told him, so I know I’m supporting much worse things on a daily basis than pomposity and hypocrisy, but is it important to avoid supporting an entrepreneur you find personally repugnant? Conversely, is it important for business people not to make of themselves antagonistic celebrities?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Seglin told me that if I find Parker’s values so repugnant, the ethical thing would be to boycott his products, but that most people are able to “compartmentalize and see the value of a product as separate from the values of the founder.” He continued: “I’m guessing there would be few products left if we avoided them because of some repugnant aspect of their founders’/CEOs’ lives. Steve Jobs was apparently no prince. Henry Ford was apparently anti-Semitic… Madonna speaks with a fake British accent from time to time.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What matters, Seglin pointed out, is that we’re honest with ourselves. He likened it to the following joke from \u003cem>Annie Hall\u003c/em>, another excellent product from a dude with a questionable personal history:\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"single-video\">[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W-M3Q2zhGd4]\u003c/div>\n\u003cp>We all need the eggs, but it’s still important to stay vigilant and assess the characters of the people selling them. So in that spirit, I’ll be signing up for Spotify Premium before I finish writing this article. Whether Parker puts that money towards a bottle of the kind of wine I will never even be able to imagine the taste of, or towards physically shaping the natural world to more closely resemble the one depicted in his beloved Hobbit books, I hope he enjoys it. And I’ll at least be happy that the next five months’ worth of the money I’ll be sending him will have come from writing an article in which I discussed in detail how pretentious he is.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I’m okay with spending the money, but if you want to be a true dad, \u003ca href=\"http://lifehacker.com/5825728/how-to-mute-ads-on-spotify\">this website\u003c/a> lists programs you can download to automatically mute the ads on Spotify.\u003c/p>\n\n","blocks":[],"excerpt":"Feeling ambivalent about giving your money to Sean Parker to stop the ads on Spotify?

I find Flo the Progressive Insurance lady as charming as the next person, but she raps in one commercial. In another she does a robot voice. It’s pretty painful. Another ad is for one of those services that gives confused young men tips on how to “seduce” women, the kind of thing that used to only be advertised in the back of \u003cem>Playboy\u003c/em> because it was so embarrassing and obnoxious. Spotify is helping pick-up artist culture--which is often \u003ca href=\"http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/2013/jun/21/kickstarter-above-the-game-ban\">amoral\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=muCUvxxVNsM\">misogynistic and tasteless\u003c/a>--move into the public forum towards acceptance. Other ads I’ve heard on Spotify have been similarly “geared towards men” and pretty much equally offensive.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This kind of rationalization of cheapness by turning it into a moral stand is one of several personality traits I’ve noticed myself developing lately which I would characterize as “dad-like”: if not like my own father, then like many dads, despite that I don’t have kids. Another such trait is getting big into succulents, and pointing out cool-looking ones I see in people’s front yards, despite being fully aware the person walking with me doesn’t care all that much.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Or maybe it’s not dad-like—maybe it’s more like I’m spoiled about ads because I grew up on the internet. I don’t bat an eye if an ad pops up in my face, but having to sit through one makes me squirm.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Either way, there’s a second, probably more significant reason I’m hesitant to pay for Spotify: Sean Parker, a major force behind Spotify and the guy who makes most of the money, is not that great (understatement).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Parker does things like send out \u003ca href=\"http://boingboing.net/2013/01/25/is-this-the-douchiest-press-re.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+boingboing%2FiBag+%28Boing+Boing%29\">staggeringly smug press releases\u003c/a> about the kind of parties he has.

Seglin is a syndicated ethics columnist and the author of \u003cem>The Right Thing: Conscience, Profit, and Personal Responsibility in Today’s Business\u003c/em>. He is also my godfather. I sent him a Facebook message about my Spotify dilemma. I put gas in my car, I told him, so I know I’m supporting much worse things on a daily basis than pomposity and hypocrisy, but is it important to avoid supporting an entrepreneur you find personally repugnant? Conversely, is it important for business people not to make of themselves antagonistic celebrities?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Seglin told me that if I find Parker’s values so repugnant, the ethical thing would be to boycott his products, but that most people are able to “compartmentalize and see the value of a product as separate from the values of the founder.” He continued: “I’m guessing there would be few products left if we avoided them because of some repugnant aspect of their founders’/CEOs’ lives. Steve Jobs was apparently no prince. Henry Ford was apparently anti-Semitic… Madonna speaks with a fake British accent from time to time.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What matters, Seglin pointed out, is that we’re honest with ourselves. He likened it to the following joke from \u003cem>Annie Hall\u003c/em>, another excellent product from a dude with a questionable personal history:\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"single-video\">\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/W-M3Q2zhGd4'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/W-M3Q2zhGd4'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/div>\n\u003cp>We all need the eggs, but it’s still important to stay vigilant and assess the characters of the people selling them.

Every week, Pen talks to movers and shakers about how the Bay Area shapes what they create, and how they shape the place we call home.","imageSrc":"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Rightnowish-Podcast-Tile-500x500-1.jpg","imageAlt":"KQED Rightnowish with Pendarvis Harshaw","officialWebsiteLink":"/podcasts/rightnowish","meta":{"site":"arts","source":"kqed","order":"5"},"link":"/podcasts/rightnowish","subscribe":{"npr":"https://www.npr.org/podcasts/721590300/rightnowish","rss":"https://ww2.kqed.org/arts/programs/rightnowish/feed/podcast","apple":"https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/rightnowish/id1482187648","stitcher":"https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/kqed/rightnowish","google":"https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkcy5tZWdhcGhvbmUuZm0vS1FJTkMxMjU5MTY3NDc4","spotify":"https://open.spotify.com/show/7kEJuafTzTVan7B78ttz1I"}},"jerrybrown":{"id":"jerrybrown","title":"The Political Mind of Jerry Brown","tagline":"Lessons from a lifetime in politics","info":"The Political Mind of Jerry Brown brings listeners the wisdom of the former Governor, Mayor, and presidential candidate.
