Prejudice: ‘Preconceived Opinion That Is Not Based on Reason or Actual Experience’

Timothy Egan, in his column for the NYT:

I hate the new Apple Watch. Hate what it will do to conversation, to the pace of the day, to my friends, to myself. I hate that it will enable the things that already make life so incremental, now-based and hyper-connected. That, and make things far worse.

He seems oddly certain for someone who’s never used one. Why form an opinion without having used it? I don’t get it.
