Another Gem From the Annals of Nick Bilton Jackassery

This article criticizes Nick Bilton's New York Times column that falsely claimed wearable computers could be as harmful as cigarettes, using pseudoscience. It highlights the NYT public editor Margaret Sullivan's evisceration of the scaremongering piece and notes that Bilton's column was later given an addendum walking back the claims. The author argues the addendum should be placed at the top, not the bottom. The piece is relevant to IT/technology as it discusses wearable devices and media coverage of tech health risks.
