摘要

ON a drizzly Tuesday afternoon in San Francisco, people are filtering into a small conference room appointed with a whiteboard and subdued black-and-white photography. As the seats fill up around the long white table, a woman dressed mostly in red, with sparkly silver nail polish, invites everyone to her upcoming ukulele performance. A man in a blue plaid shirt passes around a container of heavily iced hot cross buns. A woman in a green turtleneck chitchats about the presidential power struggles in Venezuela. They're here to talk about technology-a scene that should be entirely unremarkable in a city filled with small white conference rooms where people are doing exactly the same."Okay, everyone ready?" asks Richard Caro, the meeting's leader, an Australian with neatly cropped silver hair, alert dark eyes, and the demeanor of a kind professor. "Let's start with you, Lynn. You've got one here"-he glances down at his notes-"that says 'hearing aids.'"Lynn Davis, a 71-year-old retired project coordinator, says her sister-in-law recently talked about a pair of $300 hearing aids she'd bought online and loved. Excited, Davis had Googled the product, only to find a lengthy blog post that "ripped it apart.""Ha!" chortles the woman sitting next to her. "A piece of junk!"The comment sparks a spirited back-and-forth about hearing aids. Caro, at 63, is one of the youngest people in the room: the average age of the 11 women and five men gathered here is somewhere in the mid-70s. A retired computer programmer says she has considered buying hearing aids that can be programmed at home. A man with an iPhone sticking out from the pocket of his flannel jacket talks about the signal-to-noise ratio. A redhead wearing a hand brace describes her stereophonic pair, which affords her surround-sound hearing.
