During a visit last week to Colorado Academy, a private Pre-K-12 school in southwest Denver, Pogue delivered a Jimmy Fallon-esque performance for parents, faculty and students.In a comedy-filled keynote topped off with a live rendition of his once-viral " I Want an iPhone" YouTube music video from 2007, Pogue spoke about the growing gap between students and their parents.The younger generation doesn't read newspapers on newspaper or watch TV on TVs. They also increasingly don't bother with e-mails, preferring instant communications such as text and Facebook messaging."Every generation has a generation gap, but I think this one is bigger than anything we've seen before," he said in an interview.

Pogue is a fan of wristbands that track your health and fitness but not so much of the more complex wearables released thus far, such as Google Glass and Samsung's Galaxy Gear smartwatch. He said Google Glass is technically sound, but the product has a "big societal problem to overcome" because it allows users to video-record others without their knowledge.
