Star Trek fans will instantly recognize the stern-but-fair steely gaze of Patrick Stewart, better known as Captain Picard. As a part of a new PBS program called digital_nation, Stewart explains that he can’t distill parts of his life down to 140 characters, but still embraces the mobile lifestyle with the iPhone and mobile e-mail. As a gamer, I’m glad to hear he’s holding off on playing video games for fear of becoming horribly addicted. Right on. There’s a lot of other recognizable personality in the program, and they’re all available online, so check ‘em out.
